Procedure

Under nitrogen, 3.15 g (17 mmol) of solid 3,5-dibutyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole from step 3 of Example 1 was added in small portions to 33 mmol of sodium hydride in 31 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF); stirring was continued until hydrogen evolution had ceased. The anion solution was cooled to 0° C. and treated with a solution of 7.9 g (19 mmol) of crude 2-bromo-5-bromomethylpyridine from step 1 in 10 ml of dry DMF. The reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stir overnight. Methanol (10 ml) was added to destroy any unreacted sodium hydride and the DMF was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried (MgSO4). Silica gel chromatography (Waters Prep-500A) using ethyl acetate/hexane (60:40) gave 4.8 g (47%) of 2-bromo-5-[(3,5-dibutyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine as an oil: NMR (CDCl3) δ0.88 (t, J=7 Hz, 1H), 0.92 (t, J=7 Hz, 1H), 1.27-1.44 (m, 4H), 1.59-1.76 (m, 4H), 2.60-2.71 (m, 4H), 5.18 (s, 2H), 7.35 (dd, J=8 and 3 Hz), 7.46 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 8.23 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H).
