Procedure
Sodium hydride (18.6 g, 60%, 464 mmol) was introduced into DMF (500 ml) under nitrogen. Trifluoroethanol (32.2 ml, 443 mmol) was added dropwise at 10° C. After 1 hour, 2,5-dibromopyridine (100 g, 422 mmol) was added portionwise, and the mixture was stirred in a water bath for 24 hours at 20° C. It was then stirred with water and extracted with heptane/ethyl acetate 9:1. Distillation of the crude product (105 g) yielded 5-bromo-2-trifluoroethoxypyridine, 82.1 g (purity 93%), colorless fluid, b.p. 97-104° C. at 18 mbar.
