Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-2-methylpyridine (20 g), (Ex Aldrich), N-bromosuccinimide (31 g), benzoyl peroxide (570 mg) and tetrachloromethane (250 ml) were heated together under reflux and under irradiation from a powerful lamp for 6 hours. After standard work-up and purification by column chromatography (silica; 5% ether in hexane), 6-chloro-2-bromomethylpyridine (25 g,) was obtained.
