2-Cyclopentyloxy-5-nitro-pyridine → 6-(Cyclopentyloxy)pyridin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-cyclopentyloxy-5-nitro-pyridine (0.3099 g, 1.49 mmol), in MeOH (2 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (90 mg). The solution was degassed and was kept stirring under hydrogen atmosphere for overnight. It was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate was evaporated to afford the desired product as a brown oil (248 mg, 94% yield). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.69 (d, 1H), 7.04 (m, 1H), 6.56 (d, 1H), 5.25 (m, 1H), 1.93 (m, 2H), 1.78 (m, 4H), 1.60 (m, 2H). LC/MS (ESI) calcd for C10H14N2O 178.23, found [M+41+1]+ 220.0.
