Reaktionsschritte

4-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl quinoline (7.0 g, 40 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (150 mL) and cooled to 0° C., thionyl chloride (15.0 mL) was added slowly at this temperature and then the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred overnight. The solvent was removed in-vacuo and the residue was titureted with ethyl acetate/ethyl ether to provide 9.0 g (100%) of 4-chloromethyl-2-methyl quinoline as an HCl salt. MS (ESI): 191.9 (M+H+).
