A mixture of N-(5-methyl-4-nitro-1-oxidopyridin-2-yl)acetamide (3.1 g, 14.7 mmol) and Pd(OH)2 (20% on carbon, 1.6 g) in MeOH (80 mL) was allowed to stir under 40 psi of hydrogen at rt for 6 days. The reaction mixture was then filtered over celite and the filter cake was washed with DCM. The filtrate was concentrated to give N-(4-amino-5-methylpyridin-2-yl)acetamide (2.1 g, 86%) which was used without further purification.
