Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-chloro-6-(4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl)isonicotinate (0.67 g, 2.418 mmol) in DCM (10 mL), triphenyl phosphine (1 g, 3.86 mmol) and carbon tetrabromide (1.63 g, 3.87 mmol) were added at 0° C. and reaction mass stirred for overnight at rt. On completion, reaction mass was concentrated and purified by column chromatography over silica gel affording methyl 2-(4-(bromomethyl)phenyl)-6-chloroisonicotinate (0.53 g, 64%).
