2-Methyl-4-nitrophenol → 4-(2-Methyl-4-nitrophenoxy)pyridin-2-amine

Temperature

150 °C

2-Amino-4-chloropyridine (5.0 g), N-methylpyrrolidone (40 ml), 2-hydroxy-5-nitrotoluene (11.9 g) and diisopropylethylamine (20.1 g) were placed in a reaction vessel, followed by stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere at 150° C. for 5 days. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue was added a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate, followed by stirring overnight at room temperature. Liquid-liquid separation was carried out after addition of tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) to the reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (100 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The precipitated solid was suspended in diethyl ether and collected by filtration. The solid was washed with diethyl ether:ethyl acetate=1:1 and dried under aeration to provide the titled compound as a yellow solid (4.36 g, 45:7%).
