bromododecane (0.039, 9.79 g) and Mg turnings (0.047 mol, 1.13 g) in 50 ml of anhydrous THF.
This freshly prepared n-dodecylmagnesium bromide was added drop wise to a flask containing
ZnCl2 (0.05 mol, 6.85 g) in 40 ml of anhydrous THF (ice-water cooling bath) and a white
precipitate was obtained. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture with a
considerable amount of white precipitate was stirred for 1 h. The resulting n-dodecylzinc
chloride (1.2 equiv.) was added drop wise to a solution of 2,5-dibromopyridine (0.02 mol, 5 g)
and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.5 mol%, 0.14 g) in 20 ml of freshly distilled THF. The reaction mixture was
stirred overnight at room temperature, poured into 40 ml of water, and 40 ml of CH2Cl2 was
added. The resulting solution was vacuum filtered to separate a small amount of insoluble white
solid, the organic phase was separated, and the aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2. The
1
organic phases were combined, washed with brine and then dried over MgSO4. The solvent was
removed by rotary evaporation and the product was purified by silica gel column
bromopyridine. Yield (4.3 g, 62 %.);1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 0.82-0.0.86 (t, J =6.96

mmol) in THF (40 mL) was added a hexane solution of n-butyllithium (1.8 M, 8.18 mL, 14.72
mmol) at -78 °C for 5 min. After 1 h of stirring the solution becomes dark brown, dry ice
(excess) was added slowly into the reaction mixture with a continuous flow of nitrogen. The
resulting yellow solution was stirred for 1 h. After evaporation of the solvent in vacuo, to the
pale yellow solid was added water (15 mL) and extracted with ether. The aqueous phase was
acidified with 3N hydrochloric solution until pH 4-5 at 0 °C to produce the white precipitate. The
solid was filtered and dried to afford the desired compound of a colorless solid having a melting
point 88 °C. Yield (1.5 g, 42.1%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ; δ 0.80-0.86 (t, J =6.16 Hz,

mol, 1g) in freshly disttiled THF (20 ml), equimolar solution of NaOH in water was added drop
wise at room temperature. After stirring for 24 h, THF was evaporated in a rotary evaporator
