The mixture was irradiated with a 200 W Wolfram lamp at 60° C. for 24 h. Subsequently the mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by CC (hexane/EtOAc 97:3) provided 5.2 g of a mixture of 2,6-dichloro-4-methyl-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methylester and 4-(bromomethyl)-2,6-dichloro-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methylester which was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
