A catalytic amount of α,α'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) was added to 3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-nitropyridine (described in Acta Chem. Scand., vol. 23, pages 1791-1796) (7.1 g), N-bromosuccinimide (7.1 g) and carbon tetrachloride (80 ml), and the mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. After the reaction, while the reaction mixture was still hot, it was suction-filtered to separate the insoluble succinimide. The filtrate was cooled to room temperature whereupon the unreacted 3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-nitropyridine precipitated as crystals. The crystals were separated by filtration. The residue was concentrated and then vacuum distilled to give 3-methoxy-2-nitro-6-pyridylmethyl bromide (2.1 g).
