Saturated sodium bicarbonate was added and the suspension stirred for 15 minutes before diluting with water and extracting into ethyl acetate (×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo while loading onto silica. Dry flash column chromatography using 10-30% ethyl acetate/isohexane gave 2-chloro-5-[(2-fluorophenyl)sulfonyl]pyridine as a white solid (1.95 g, 86%). δH (500 MHz, d6 DMSO): 7.45-7.56 (2H, m), 7.81-7.88 (2H, m), 8.10 (1H, td, J=1.6, 7.6 Hz), 8.37-8.41 (1H, m), 8.98 (1H, d, J=2.6 Hz); m/z (ES+) 272, 274 [MH+].
