Ammonium Chloride → 2-Thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine (1.170 g, 4.6 mmol), Fe powder (1.26 g, 22.8 mmol) and NH4Cl (1.97 g, 36.8 mmol) in CH3OH:H2O (4:1, 80 mL) was refluxed for 6 hrs. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was poured into water. The precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with water (20 mL×3) to afford 2-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-yl-phenylamine as a yellow solid (0.760 g, yield: 73%).
