Procedure

To a solution of 3-bromo-5-ethoxypyridine 1-oxide (40 g, 183 mmol) in DCM (200 mL) at 0° C. was slowly added POCl3 (159 mL, 1701 mmol) over 30 min. Then the resulting solution was warmed to 45° C. for 15 h. The mixture was concentrated and extracted with DCM (2×200 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 5-bromo-2-chloro-3-ethoxypyridine (30 g, 60.9 mmol, 33.2% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.00-7.99 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.65-7.64 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 4.17-4.12 (m, 2H), 1.44 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H); ES-LCMS m/z 235 (M+H).
