Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (6.71 g), 2-(chloromethyl)quinoline (8.88 g) and potassium carbonate (8.28 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was treated with water. The separated oil was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried, and evaporated to give an oil, which was crystallized from n-hexane to yield 2-[[3-(formyl)phenoxy]methyl]quinoline (12.5 g).
