Nucleophilic amination of methoxypyridines by a sodium hydride–iodide composite†
Abstract
A new protocol for nucleophilic amination of methoxypyridines and their derivatives was developed using sodium hydride (NaH) in the presence of lithium iodide (LiI). The method offers a concise access to various aminopyridines which are potentially of medicinal interest.
