1-Methyl-4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine → 5-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-methyl-4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine (500 mg, 2.25 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (80 mg, 0.75 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, washed with ethanol and concentrated to give 5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine.
