Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 5 g of neutral alumina in 300 ml of carbon tetrachloride was added 0.5 g of anhydrous aluminum chloride and the mixture was heated at reflux for 20 minutes. To the slurry was added 20 g (0.052 mole) of 2,3-dichloro-5-(1-bromo-3,3,3-trichloro-1-methylpropyl)pyridine, and the resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 48 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo yielding the crude product. Recrystallization from pentane yielded 12.7 g (80%) of product, m.p. 76°-77° C.
