Diisopropylamine → 2-Bromo-5-fluoro-4-(triethylsilyl)pyridine

To a solution of diisopropylamine (25.3 g, 250 mmol) in THF (400 ml) was added n-BuLi (100 ml, 2.5 mol/L in hexanes) below −50° C. A solution of 2-bromo-5-fluoropyridine (41.9 g, 238 mmol) in THF (60 ml) was added to the LDA-solution at −78° C. in a dropwise manner below −63° C. After 60 minutes at −78° C. triethylchlorosilane (44 ml, 262 mmol) was added in a fast manner keeping the temperature below −50° C. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was allowed to reach −20° C. The reaction mixture was poured on a mixture of 1M aq. HCl (250 ml) and aq. NH4Cl (10%). Tert.-butyl methyl ether was added and the layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give a yellow liquid. Distillation (bp. 99-101° C., 0.5 mm Hg). afforded the title compound as a slightly yellow liquid: 66.26 g (96% yield)
