2-Chloro-5-nitropyridin-4-amine → 6-Chloropyridine-3,4-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridin-4-amine (4.50 g, 25.93 mmol) in EtOAc (100 mL) was added Raney nickel (0.45 g) followed by stirring under hydrogen at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4.00 g (ca. 100%) of crude 6-chloropyridine-3,4-diamine as yellow oil. MS (ESI): m/z=144.3 [M+1]+.
