The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 1 hour. After cooling, the reaction was partitioned between toluene and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with toluene (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexanes:EtOAc, 1:1) to give (R)-6-fluoro-7-(2-methoxypropoxy)-2-methylquinoline (0.289 g, 103%).
