Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the nitropyridine 46 (1.48 g, 7.85 mmol), MeOH (50 mL), and 5% Pd-C (150 mg) was shaken under H2 (20-30 psi) for 20 h. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was rota-evaporated to dryness to give 1.09 g (87%) of the diamine 47 as a brown powder, mp 128°-130° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.661 (s, 3H), 3.233 (bs, 2H), 4.183 (bs, 2H), 6.880 (s, 1H).
