Procedure

A mixture of 3-bromo-5-(hydroxy(phenyl)methyl)pyridin-4-ol (2.55 g, 91 mmol), TFA (16 mL) and Et3SiH in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was stirred at rt for 10 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane/EtOAc/MeOH/600:300:50 followed by hexane/EtOAc/MeOH/400:400:50:10 to afford an impure product which was triturated with a small amount of MeOH and Et2O to obtain the desired product (255 mg, 10%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.75 (br s, 1H), 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.54 (s, 1H), 7.26-7.14 (m, 5H), 2.49 (s, 2H).
