Procedure

A solution of 2,5-dibromopyridine (15.0 g, 63.3 mmol), powdered KOH (6.39 g, 114 mmol), 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidine (14.58 g, 126.6 mmol), and 18-crown-6 (300 mg, 1.14 mmol) in dry toluene (100 mL) was heated to 70° C. for 1 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and water and EtOAc were added. The organic layer was washed with water and brine. The solution was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Short path distillation (153° C. @0.1 mmHg) provided the title compound as a colorless oil which solidified upon cooling (14.9 g, 87%). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.15 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.65 (dd, J=2.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.67 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.38 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 2.84 (t, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 2.62 (m, 4H), 1.82 (m, 4H).
