The discovery of bacteriostatic activity of Sulfidine was the stimulus for the study of the chemistry of isomeric aminopyridines with the objective of converting them into promising sulfamide preparations [2].Aminopyridines with nitrogroups on the pyridine nucleus have been insufficiently well studied, which is explained by their low accessibility. Exceptions are 2-amino-3-nitro-and 5-nitropyridines and their derivatives, which are accessible thanks to the activity of 2-aminopyridine to electrophilic substitution [3]. The number of publications connected with the preparation of substituted 3-amino-5-nitropyridines is limited to those describing the synthesis of 3-amino-5-nitropyridine [4-7], 3-amino-2-methyl-5-nitropyridine [8], and 3-amino-5-nitrocollidine [9].The objective of the present work was the synthesis of the previously unknown 3-amino-5-nitropyridines 2a,b, 4, 6b,c, and 9a-c based on the available nitropyridines 1a,b, 3a-c, and 7a-c which contain acetyl, amide, and carboxyl groups at position 3 of the pyridine nucleus, The choice of the variant of the sextet rearrangement in the synthesis of 3-amino-5-nitropyridines was determined by the availability of the corresponding 5-nitropyridines. 3-Amino-5-nitropyridines 2a,b were obtained by the Schmidt reaction starting from 3-acetyl-5-nitropyridines 1a,b by a one-stage synthesis which we had developed earlier [10,11]: N Ac O 2 N Me R N NH 2 R Me O 2 N 1.

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.
