Water → 6-Aminonicotinaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-cyanopyridine (1.02 g) was dissolved in THF (40 ml) and added with Lithium aluminum hydride (637 mg) and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added thereto to stop the reaction, and the whole was added with a saturated sodium sulfate aqueous solution and subjected to filtration through Celite. The residue obtained by concentration of the filtrate was purified through silica gel column chromatography (chloroform/methanol), thereby obtaining the subject compound (1.04 g) as a yellow solid.
