2-Isopropoxy-5-nitropyridine → 6-(1-Methylethoxy)-3-pyridinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-isopropoxy-5-nitro-pyridine, as prepared in the previous step, in MeOH (5 mL) was added 20 mg of 10% Pd/C. The mixture was degassed several times and stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 4 h. It was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc as eluent). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.65 (d, J=2.96 Hz, 1H), 7.02 (dd, J=8.71 and 2.99 Hz, 1H), 6.54 (d, J=8.67 Hz, 1H), 5.14 (m, 1H), 1.31 (d, J=6.17 Hz, 6H). LC-MS (ESI) calcd mass 152.1, found 153.2 (MH+).
