Procedure

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-methyl-pyridine (5.70 g, 32.14 mmol) in methanol (100 mL), H2SO4 (0.3 mL) is added. The mixture is heated to reflux before a solution of ammonium peroxydisulfate (7.33 g, 32.14 mmol) in water (53 mL) is carefully added. The mixture is stirred at reflux für 2 h before two more portions of ammonium peroxydisulfate (2×7.33 g) is added as a sat. aq. solution. Stirring is continued at reflux for 3 h. Methanol is removed under reduced pressure and the remaining solution is diluted with sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution and extracted with EA. The org. extract is dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product is purified by CC on silica gel eluting with heptane:EA 3:7 to give (4-bromo-6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol (1.31 g) as pale yellow solid; LC-MS: tR=0.31 min; [M+1]+=201.96; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 2.55 (s, 3H), 3.59 (s br, 1H), 4.72 (s br, 2H), 7.28 (s, 2H).
