3-(Tetrazol-1-yl)cyanopyridine → 3-(Tetrazol-1-yl)-2-aminomethylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(tetrazol-1-yl)cyanopyridine (250 mg, 1.45 mmol) and 45% by weight of palladium on carbon, 10% catalyst (110 mg) in ethanol (75 ml) was placed on a PARR Hydrogenation Apparatus under a hydrogen atmosphere at 55 psi. overnight. The mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated to give 3-(tetrazol-1-yl)-2-aminomethylpyridine; 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 9.60 (s, 1H), 8.83–8.81 (m, 1H), 7.99–7.97 (m, 1H), 7.59–7.56 (m, 1H), 3.77 (s, 2H).
