Procedure
To a solution of (3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)methanol (1.9 g, 10.7 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (75 mL) was added tribromophosphane (1.1 mL, 11.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. Dichloromethane was evaporated, and the mixture was co-evaporated with toluene (2×20 mL). The residue was dried in vacuo, affording 4-(bromomethyl)-3,5-dichloropyridine hydrobromide (2.9 g, 98% yield), which was used without further purification.
