Procedure

5,6-dichloro-3-pyridinemethanol (1.0 eq.) was taken up in dichloromethane and stirred overnight with carbon tetrabromide (1.5 eq.) and 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (0.75 eq.) Ether was added to the solution and filtration followed by concentration of the filtrate afforded the 5,6-dichloro-3-bromomethylpyridine in 130% yield.
