After cooling to 0° C., the reaction mixture is poured onto slushed ice (250 g of ice +250 g of water at 0° C.) and left to separate overnight. The organic phase is washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (100 cm3), followed by water (100 cm3), and then concentrated to dryness in order to obtain 19.8 g of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-6,7-difluoro-2-chloroquinoline of 90% assay (HPLC), equivalent to a yield of 88%.
