Procedure

A mixture of 6-amino-3-bromo-2-methylpyridine (20.0 g, 0.107 mol)(Maybridge) and copper (I) cyanide 11.0 g, 0.123 mol) in DMF (25 ml) was heated to reflux for 4 h. The DMF was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 10% sodium cyanide solution. The organic layer was washed with 10% sodium cyanide solution and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo to a brown solid. This was dissolved in a minimum amount of ethyl acetate and the product was precipitated by adding hexanes. The mixture was filtered to give the title compound as a brown powder:
