Reaction Steps

To (5-bromo-6-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-methanol (2.86 g, 13.1 mmol) in DME (30 mL) was added phosphorus tribromide (1.9 mL, 19.7 mmol), and the reaction was stirred for 15 minutes. The mixture was worked up with EtOAc and saturated aqueous NaHCO3, and the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give 3-bromo-5-bromomethyl-2-methoxy-pyridine.
