Reaction Steps

At −78° C., under N2 protection, n-BuLi (0.16 mL, 1.6 M, 1.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 1-methyl-1H-imidazole (82 mg, 1.0 mmol) in THF (10 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 0.5 hour; then, 5-bromo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (186 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added to the above solution and stirring continued at −78° C. for additional 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (5.0 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhy. Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product (210 mg, 78.4%) as white solid. MS: 268.1 & 270.1 (M+H+).
