Stannous Chloride → 5-(4-Aminophenoxy)-3-chloropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 5-(4-nitrophenoxy)-3-chloropyridine (219 mg, 0.873 mmol) in EtOH (4 mL) was added SnCl2 (730 mg, 3.24 mmol). The solution was refluxed for 1.25 hr and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The resulting crude solid was purified by chromatography (97.5:2.5 CH2Cl2:MeOH) to provide 187.7 mg (78% yield) of the title compound.
