3-Nitropyridine and some of its derivatives are aminated in a liquid ammonia solution of potassium permanganate to the corresponding 2- and (or) 4- and (or) 6-amino compounds.Quantumchemical calculations for a few 3-nitropyridines suggest that the experimentally observed regioselectivity of the amination is controlled by Coulombic interaction. --- Key Words: Amination / Nitropyridines / Reactivity indices / Calculations, MNDO
