Ammonia → 2-Nitropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In addition, compounds referred to hereinbelow as 7e and 7f were synthesized by modifying the method described by Tohda et al, Nucleophilic Reaction upon Electron-Deficient Pyridone Derivatives X. One-Pot Synthesis of 3-Nitropyridines by Ring Transformation of 1-Methyl-3,5-dinitro-2-pyridone with Ketones or Aldehydes in the Presence of Ammonia, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1990, 63, 2820–2827, for producing nitropyridine by using 3,5 dinitro-1-methyl-2-pyridone which produced the nitro compound 7e which was reduced to the amine 7f.
