Yield: 35%

Reaction Conditions:

Stage #1:3-methylpyridin-2-ylamine with sulfuric acid;nitric acid at 0 - 50;
Stage #2: with ammonia in water at 20;

Steps:

19.1
3-Methyl-pyridin-2-ylamine (5.0 g, 46.2 mmol) was dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid (24ml), the mixture was chilled to 0°C and a mixture of fuming nitric acid (d=1.5, 3.5ml) and concentrated sulfuric acid (3.5ml) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture while temperature was kept below 20°C. The stirred mixture was allowed to warm to 20°C and transferred in portions of 3-5ml into a second flask which was heated to 35-40°C (the temperature was not allowed to rise over 40°C - monitoring carefully the temperature after every addition of a new portion). The resulting reaction mixture was subsequently stirred for additional 30min at 50°C, cooled to ambient temperature and neutralized with concentrated aqueous ammonia. This led to the formation of a precipitated which was filtered, washed with water and aqueous DMFA (50%, 6ml), and recrystallized from DMFA yielding 3-methyl-5-nitro-pyridin-2-ylamine (2.52g, 35%).
