Procedure

Thionyl chloride (8 cc) was added over 8 minutes to a stirred solution of 3-ethoxy-2-hydroxymethylpyridine (5.6 g) in chloroform (60 cc) at room temperature. After 11/2 hrs the mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue was recrystallised from 0.16 M ethanolic hydrogen chloride/diethyl ether (1:1) to give 2-chloromethyl-3-ethoxypyridine hydrochloride (6.5 g) m.p. 176°-179.5°. (decomp.).
