Reaction Steps

(5-Bromo-4-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-methanol (400 mg, 1.80 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (566 mg, 2.16 mmol) are dissolved in DCM (20 mL) and N-bromosuccinimide (384 mg, 2.16 mmol) is added. The mixture is stirred for 4 hrs at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture is purified by flash column chromatography directly (without work-up) to give 300 mg of 3-bromo-5-bromomethyl-4-chloro-pyridine.
