Nitrogen was bubbled into the solution for 20 min and ammonium sulfate (177 g, 1.56 mol) was added. The resultant mixture was stirred in a water bath (20° C.) under nitrogen for 4 hours and quenched with 10% sodium hydroxide (pH=9-10). Methanol was removed by concentration in vacuo and the resulting aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic phase was filtered through silica gel and washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Crystallization from ethyl acetate gave 2-methyl-4-hydroxymethylquinoline (24.6 g, 27%) as a solid. MS(NH3—CI): (M+H)+=174.
