1-Methyl-4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine → 5-(4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1-methyl-4-(6-nitro-3-pyridyl)piperazine 3.4 g in ethyl acetate (100 mL) and ethanol (100 mL) was added 10% Pd/c (400 mg) and then contents stirred under hydrogen (10 psi) overnight. After filtration through CELITE™, the solvents were evaporated and the crude product was purified over silica gel using DCM/7N Ammonia in MeOH (0-5%) to afford 5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-amine (2.2 g). 1HNMR (d6-DMSO) 7.56 (1H, d, J=3 Hz), 7.13 (1H, m), 6.36 (1H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 5.33 (brs, 2H), 2.88 (m, 4H), 2.47 (m, 4H), 2.16 (s, 3H).
