The mixture was warmed to 60° C. and mild gas evolution was observed. After 1.75 h the heating bath was turned off and the mixture was allowed to stir overnight. Additional tert-butylnitrite (1 mL) was added and the mixture was again warmed to 60° C. After 2 h no starting material was left as assessed by HPLC analysis. The mixture was cooled and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 2% Et2O in hexanes to give 4,6-dibromo-2-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-3-methylpyridine. Mass spectrum (ESI) 378.0 (M+1); 380.0 (M+3); 382.0 (M+5).
