Abstract

The amination of 3-nitropyridines with aromatic amides generated from various aminopyridine derivatives proceeded unexpectedly in the position para to the nitro group, giving the oxidative nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (ONSH) derived compounds. After optimization, this reaction allowed easy access to interesting 3-nitro-substituted N,N′-dipyridinylamines.
