Procedure

4-Methyl-2-bromopyridine (1.0 g, 5.8 mmol) and t-butoxybis(dimethylamino)methane (5 ml) were heated to 150° C. for 16 hours. 4-Methyl-2-bromopyridine was prepared as set forth in B. Adger et al., J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, pp. 2791-2796 (1988), which is incorporated herein by reference. The contents were evaporated and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and solvent removed in vacuo to give 1.0 g of (E)-2-(2-bromo-4-pyridinyl)-N,N-dimethylethenamine as an oil suitable for use in step 2.
