Procedure

The zinc chloride (3.04 g, 22.82 mmol), tert-butyl alcohol (1.576 mL, 16.71 mmol) and diethylamine (1.731 mL, 16.71 mmol) were combined in benzene (12 mL). The resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours until all solid dissolved. To this slurry was added 1-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (2.60 g, 16.71 mmol; reference: Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1998, 8, 3087-3092), followed by 2-bromo-1-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)ethanone (2.61 g, 11.14 mmol; reference: Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 1998, 8, 3087-3092). The resulting clear yellow solution was stirred at room temperature for 88 hours. The thick reaction mixture was treated with 5% H2SO4 (10 mL), stirred for 30 minutes, filtered and dried to give the title compound (2.91 g, 85%) as a solid.
