A 4-cyclohexenylpyridine is brominatively aromatized to the corresponding 4-phenylpyridine by brominating the cyclohexenylpyridine, such as a 4-(halocyclohexenyl)pyridine, especially a 4-(4-halocyclohex-3-enyl)pyridine hydrochloride, and heating the brominated product in the presence or absence of any added base or hydrogen acceptor to form, e.g., a 4-(halophenyl)pyridine. The invention is of particular utility in the manufacture of intermediates of antibacterial 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(4-pyridyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids.
