Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,5-dibromopyridine and sodium thiomethoxide (1.3 eq) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml/mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes then cooled to 0° C. After diluting with cold water the precipitate was filtered to afford the 5-Bromo-2-methylthiopyridine compound as a solid.
