Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-4-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (1.6 g, 8.4 mmol) in methylene chloride (90 mL) was added thionyl dichloride (1.6 mL, 22.0 mmol) dropwise over at 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and then concentrated. The yellow solid was dried in a vacuum to afford the compound 5 (2.05 g, 100%).
