Procedure

A solution of sulphur trioxide (150 ml) in 1,1,2-trifluorotrichloroethane (550 ml) was added over 30 min to a suspension of 4-(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)butylamine hydrobromide (14.2 g) [prepared by reacting 4-(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)butylamine with hydrobromic acid (0.89M)] in 1,1,2-trifluorotrichloroethane and to this mixture was added liquid bromine (5.56 g). The mixture was heated under reflux for ca 16 hr. The solvent was removed by distillation and unbrominated starting material was removed by acetylation as described in Example 1(b) to yield 4-(5-bromo-3-methyl-2-pyridyl)-butylamine (6.49 g) as an oil.
