2-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine → 6-Fluoro-5-methylpyridin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (from Step 32b above) was combined with 100 mg of 5% Pd/C in EtOH (100 mL), and the mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 16 hours. The mixture was filtered and concentrated. The crude product was chromatographed (silica gel; CHCl3/MeOH, 99:1 to 94:6) to yield 5.2 g (78%) of the title compound: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ7.26 (t, J=2.7 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (dd, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 5.11 (br, s, 2H), 2.10 (s, 3H); MS (CI/NH3) m/z: 127 (M+H)+, 144 (M+NH4)+.
