Procedure

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of 3-bromo-pyridine-4-carbaldehyde (2.0 g, 10.8 mmol) in dry THF (45 mL) is added methyl magnesium bromide solution in Et2O (3M; 3.9 mL, 11.8 mmol). The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 h then warmed and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution is added and the mixture is extracted with EtOAc. The organic layers are combined and concentrated to afford 2.1 g of 1-(3-bromo-pyridin-4-yl)-ethanol.
