The mixture was put under nitrogen and stirred at 75° C. for 16 h. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water (10 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×5 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried with anhydrous sodium sulphate. Column chromatography of the residue (silica gel Fluka 60, hexanes/dichloromethane 1:1) afforded 3-bromo-6-phenylpyridine as a white crystalline product.
