Reaction Steps

Under nitrogen, the crude ethyl 2-(5-methyl-2-pyridinyl)benzoate from step 6 was treated with 1.7 g (9.5 mmol) of NBS and 160 mg (0.66 mmol) of benzoyl peroxide in 145 mL of anhydrous carbon tetrachloride at reflux for 2.5 h. The reaction was filtered under nitrogen and concentrated in vacuo to give crude ethyl 2-(5-bromomethyl-2-pyridinyl)benzoate; no purification was attempted.
