Stirring was continued for 10 minutes. To this solution was added (4-bromo-5-methyl-2-pyridyl)methanol [CAS: 820224-83-7](1.01 g, 5.01 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) dropwise over a period of 10 minutes. Stirring was then continued for a further 10 minutes. Triethylamine (3.13 mL, 22.54 mmol) was added dropwise and stirring continued for 5 minutes, before allowing the reaction to warm to room temperature. Water was added and the phases were separated by passing over a hydrophobic frit. The organic phase was evaporated to yield a dark brown solid which was dried under vacuum overnight (795 mg). This was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (0-100% EtOAc in isohexane) to yield 4-bromo-5-methyl-pyridine-2-carbaldehyde (D21) (619 mg, 3.0945 mmol, 61.8% yield) as an orange crystalline solid;
