5-Tert-butyl-2-methyl-3-nitro-pyridine → 5-Tert-butyl-2-methyl-pyridin-3-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The above pyridine (388 mg, 1.99 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (6 mL) and placed in a Parr hydrogenation vessel. Pd (10% on carbon, 20 mg) was added and the reaction was placed under a hydrogen atmosphere (50 psi) and shaken at room temperature for 18 h. The solution was then filtered through diatomaceous earth, concentrated in vacuo to provide 5-tert-butyl-2-methyl-pyridin-3-ylamine (340 mg, 99%) as a pale orange solid: ESI MS m/z 164 [C10H16N2+H]+.
