Thionyl Chloride → HCID 20340826, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.4 g. of 4,6-dichloroquinoline-3-methanol (0.05 mol.) are added in portions to 150 ml. of thionyl chloride. The reaction mixture is allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature. Then the solution is filtered and the excess thionyl chloride removed by a rotary evaporator. The residue is triturated with water, filtered off, washed again with water and dried in a desiccator over P2O5 to obtain 3-chloromethyl-4,6-dichloroquinoline; yield: 11.5 g. (93.5%); m.p. 102°-105°. Recrystallization from cyclohexane does not change the melting point.
