Ks. Gudmundsson et al., AN IMPROVED LARGE-SCALE SYNTHESIS OF 2-AMINO-4-CHLOROPYRIDINE AND ITSUSE FOR THE CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF VARIOUS POLYCHLORINATED 2-AMINOPYRIDINES, Synthetic communications, 27(5), 1997, pp. 861-870
An efficient large scale synthesis of 2-amino-4-chloropyridine (3) has
been achieved through a modification of existing literature procedure
s. Compound 3 was used to prepare the previously unreported 2-amino-4,
5-dichloropyridine (4). The known 2-amino-3,4-dichloropyridine (5) and
2-amino-3,4,5-trichloropyridine (6) were prepared from 3 by new route
s and in higher yields than previously reported.
