The reaction was heated to 85° C. for 1 h. The reaction was cooled to 0° C. and ice was added slowly. After 30 min, pH was adjusted to 6 with 1N NaOH(aq). The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and were concentrated. 4-Chloro-2-ethoxy-7-methoxy-8-methyl-quinoline (875 mg, 81%) was purified by silica gel chromatography to afford a white solid.
