Procedure

To a solution of 50% aq. chloroacetaldehyde (1.5 eq, 125 mmol, 16 ml) in ethanol (625 ml) is added 2-amino-5-iodo-pyridine (1 eq, 113 mmol, 25 g) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 18 hours. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the crude product is dissolved in water (400 ml). The aqueous solution is treated with sodium bicarbonate to pH=8 and extracted with DCM (3×250 ml). The organic portion is dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give a beige solid of the title compound. 1H nmr (CDCl3) 8.44 (1H, s), 7.60 (1H, s), 7.53 (1H, s), 7.42 (1H, d, J=9.4 Hz), and 7.33 (1H, d, J=9.58 Hz).
