Abstract
Reaction of 5-bromo- or 3-bromo-2-methylpyridine with o-nitroaniline gave the corresponding N-[2-methyl-5(or 3)pyridyl]-o-nitroanilines. Reduction to the corresponding amino derivatives and ring closure to 1-[2-methyl-5(or 3)pyridyl]benzotriazole allowed the structures to be confirmed and an earlier literature report to be corrected. Displacement of bromide by anthranilic acid from 5-bromo-2-methylpyridine and decarboxylation gave N-(2-methyl-5-pyridyl)aniline.
