The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours and at ambient temperature for 3 hours. Methanol (10 mL) was added slowly and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was suspended in 1:1 ether/hexane and stirred at ambient temperature for 10 minutes. The solid was collected by filtration to give 3-fluoro-2-methylquinolin-7-ol hydrobromide (0.37 g, 1.43 mmol, 107% yield) as a solid.
