Procedure

A solution of methanol (180 mL) was treated with sodium spheres (4.7 g, 0.20 mol) portionwise, evaporated to dryness, azeotroped with toluene (100 mL), and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The sodium methoxide in dry DMF (130 mL) was treated with 3,5-dibromopyridine (32 g, 135 mmol), from Avocado Chemicals. After heating at 70° C. for 4 hours, the mixture was poured onto ice/water (300 g) and filtered. The filter cake was dried under reduced pressure to provide the title compound (15.6 g, 62% yield). MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 188/190 (M+H)+.
