After the addition of 1 g of potassium iodide, there are added dropwise, with stirring and refluxing, 7.1 g of chloroacetonitrile in 30 ml of 2-butanone, and the mixture is subsequently heated for 3 hours at an internal temperature of 75° C. To the resulting reaction mixture, after cooling to room temperature, is added 1 liter of water, and the whole is filtered; the residue is washed with water, dried, and recrystallised from chloroform/petroleum ether (40°-60° C.) to thus obtain 2-methyl-5,7-dichloro-8-(cyanomethoxy)-quinoline, m.p. 157°-158° C.
