Procedure
To (6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methanol (3.36 g, 24.1 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) was added perbromomethane (12.0 g, 36.2 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (9.50 g, 36.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour, concentrated and silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/Hexane 1:5) to provide the desired product (4.23 g).
