Reaction Steps

2 M Methylamine in MeOH (11.6 mL, 23.2 mmol) was added to 2-chloro-4-iodo-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (357 mg, 1.16 mmol) and the mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 130° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. Preparative thin-layer chromatography, eluting with 20% EtOAc:hexane, gave 2-chloro-N-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-4-amine (77 mg, 0.363 mmol, 31% yield).
