5-AMINO-2-CHLORO-3-PICOLINE

Light yellow solid

Iron (Fe) powder (9.75 g, 0.174 mol, Sigma-Aldrich) was added in portions over a period of 2h to a stirred solution of 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (10 g, 0.058 mol, Combi-blocks) in acetic acid/water (29 mL: 88 mL). After 3h, the reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine and dried over Na2S04. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield 6-chloro-5-methylpyridine-3-amine as a brown solid (8.0g; 97percent). MS m/z = 142.03 [M+H]Iron powder (9.75 g, 0.17 mol) was added in portions over a period of 2 h to a stirred solution of 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (10 g, 58.00 mmol, Combi-blocks) in HOAc/water (29 mL : 88 mL). After 3 h, the reaction mixture was filtered through CeliteReference Example 33 6-chloro-5-methylpyridine-3-amine; Reduced iron (793 mg) was added to an aqueous solution (25 mL) of ammonium chloride (1.27 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min. A solution (10 mL) of 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (816 mg) in methanol was added dropwise over 10 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 20 min and at 50° C. for 1.5 hr and further refluxed for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and celite was washed with methanol. Methanol was mostly removed by concentration under reduced pressure, and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=19:1-->7:3) to give the title compound as a solid (yield 280 mg, 42percent). Reference Example 136 19a.
