Reaction Steps

2-Amino-6-benzylamino-3-nitropyridine was prepared from 2-amino-6-chloro-3-nitropyridine as follows: 2-Amino-6-chloro-3-nitropyridine (17.35 g, 0.10 mol), benzyl amine (Fluka) (10.72 g, 0.10 mol) and powdered potassium carbonate (10.4 g, 0.035 mol) in n-butanol (100 mL) were heated under reflux for 2 hours. The suspension was filtered and after cooling to room temperature the solid was collected by filtration, washed with butanol, and dried at 50 C. in vacuo to give 2-amino-6-benzylamino-3-nitropyridine (22.2 g, 91%, m.p. 145-146 C.).
