Nitration of Some Derivatives of 2‐Methylaminopyridine N‐Oxides
The only stable products obtained from nitrations of 2‐methylaminopyridine N‐oxide and some derivatives, are those resulting from nitration of the pyridine ring. Thus, 2‐methyl‐aminopyridine N‐oxide 8 is nitrated under mild conditions to yield 2‐methylamino‐5‐nitropyridine N‐oxide 9, but not 2‐methylnitraminopyridine‐N‐oxide 10 is obtained.
2‐Methylamino‐4‐nitropyridine N‐oxide 1 yields 2‐methylamino‐4,5‐dinitropyridine N‐oxide 2 upon nitration.
Chemical reactions which relate known compounds to the new compounds obtained, confirm the assigned structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
