Ammonium Chloride → Tert-butyl (4-((6-amino-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)oxy)pyridin-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl (4-((2-methyl-6-nitropyridin-3-yl)oxy)pyridin-2-yl)carbamate (0.438 g, 1.265 mmol) and NH4Cl (2.029 g, 37.9 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) and THF (10 mL) was treated with zinc dust (0.827 g, 12.65 mmol) and stirred at RT overnight. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc, the solids removed via filtration through diatomaceous earth, washed with EtOAc and the filtrate concentrated to dryness to afford crude tert-butyl (4-((6-amino-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)oxy)pyridin-2-yl)carbamate (100% yield assumed) which was used without further purification. MS (ESI) m/z: 317.2 (M+H+).
