Abstract
A simple, quick, and high-yielding microwave-assisted synthesis of 2-(N,N-dimethyl)amine- and 2-aminopyridine derivatives is reported here for the first time in the reaction of 2-chloro substituted pyridines with amide solvents such as dimethylformamide or formamide, without transition-metal catalysts.
