2-Methoxy-5-nitropyrimidine → 2-Methoxypyrimidin-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.342 g (2.20 mmol) of the above nitro compound in MeOH (20 mL) was added 0.30 g of 10% Pd/C and the mixture was stirred under hydrogen (25 in/Hg) for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and concentrated, to give 0.274 g (100% yield) of 5-amino-2-methoxypyrimidine as a colorless oil: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.05 (s, 2H), 3.94 (s, 3H); LCMS (APCI+) m/z: 126 (MH+, 100%).
