Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, 2,3-dichloro-5-iodopyridine is prepared by lithiating 5-bromo-2,3-dichloropyridine at a reduced temperature to form 2,3-dichloro-5-lithiopyridine. The 2,3-dichloro-5-lithiopyridine is then reacted with I2 at a reduced temperature to form 2,3-dichloro-5-iodopyridine. The resulting product is then extracted and recovered. 2,3-Dichloro-5-iodopyridine is in the form of a white solid and has a melting point of from 56.5° C. to 57.5° C.
