Procedure

To a solution of 3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (10.0 g, 55.1 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (150 mL) was added dropwise phenylmethanol (5.96 g, 55.1 mmol) under nitrogen at rt. The reaction mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 2 h, diluted with water (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 mL×3). Combined organic parts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude product (100 g) was used into next step without further purification.
