Procedure

2-(6-Chloropyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile (5.7 g, 37.4 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (25 ml). 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (26.5 mL) was added dropwise. Benzyl-triethylammonium chloride (0.17 g, 0.747 mmol) was added. 1,3-Dibromopropane (7.54 g, 37.4 mmol) were added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred over night at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with water (3×). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica, dichloromethane, methanol). Yield: 2.4 g (10.9 mmol, 29%).
