Sodium hydride (0.51 g, 127 mmol) is added. After stirring for 20 min at ambient temperature, 2-fluoropyridine (1.05 ml, 12.1 mmol) is added and the reaction medium is heated at 105° C. for 7 h. After hydrolysis, the pH is adjusted to 8 with a 1N aqueous solution of HCl. The reaction medium is then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to dryness. The crude product obtained is chromatographed on silica gel, elution being carried out with a gradient of ethyl acetate in heptane ranging from 0% to 30%. 2.22 g of expected 2-(4-bromo-phenoxy)pyridine are obtained,
