3-Nitropicolinaldehyde → 3-Aminopyridine-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-nitropicolinaldehyde (500 mg, 3.28 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) was added Pd/C (50 mg) under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred for overnight under hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through cilite and washed with EtOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 3-aminopicolinaldehyde (200 mg, 50% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.132 (br s, 2H), 7.217-7.325 (m, 2H), 7.979 (dd, J=1.6 Hz, J=4.0 Hz, 1H), 9.899 (s, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 123.0 [M+H]+.
