Procedure

An amount of 500 mg (2.92 mmol) of 2-bromo-5-methylpyridine was dissolved in 15 mL of carbon tetrachloride, following which 623 mg (3.50 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide and 10 mg of benzoyl peroxide were added and the mixture was refluxed under heating for 19 hours. Following reaction completion, the reaction mixture was returned to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure, then purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=19:1), giving 143 mg of 2-bromo-5-bromomethylpyridine (yield, 20%).
