3-(Benzyloxy)-5-phenylpyridin-2-amine → 2-Amino-5-phenylpyridin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-benzyloxy-5-phenyl-pyridin-2-ylamine (Example I-87, 3.27 g, 11.8 mmol) in methanol (30 mL) was added Pd(OH)2 (2.5 g, 2.37 mmol). The mixture was degassed and charged with hydrogen three times, and then stirred under hydrogen balloon for 5 hr. The reaction was filtered through a celite pad, washed with methanol, and condensed. After high vacuum dry, 2-amino-5-phenyl-pyridin-3-ol was obtained (2.04 g, 93% yield). MS m/z 187 [M+1].
