Procedure

A solution of 2,3-dichloro-5-nitropyridine (9.75 g) and potassium iodide (29 g) in acetic acid (120 mL, degassed with nitrogen) was heated to 100° C. for 1.5 hours under nitrogen. The brown solution was cooled to room temperature and then ethyl acetate (300 mL) added. The organic phase was separated and washed with water (2×100 mL) and dilute aqueous sodium sulfite (100 mL). Evaporation of the solvent gave crystalline 3-chloro-2-iodo-5-nitro-pyridine (13.11 g).
