Procedure

To a stirred solution of 4,6-dibromo-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-methylpyridine (5.0 g, 13.77 mmol, 1 eq) in CCl4 (125 mL) was added N-bromosuccinimide (2.95 g, 16.6 mmol 1.2 eq) and benzoyl peroxide (340 mg, 1.37 mmol, 0.1 eq). The mixture was brought to and maintained at reflux until all the starting material was consumed (approx 3.5 h). The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and the succinimide was filtered off. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel elufing with 2% Et2O in hexanes giving 4,6-dibromo-3-(bromomethyl)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine. Mass spectrum (ESI) 440.1 (M+1); 442.1 (M+3); 444.1 (M+5); 446.1 (M+7). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δCHCl3: 7.84 (1H, s); 7.50 (1H, m); 7.05 (1H, m); 6.96 (1H, m); 4.44 (2H br s).
