Procedure

To 1-Quinolin-4-yl-ethanol (1.4 g, 8.09 mmol) in 15 ml chloroform, thiony-chloride (1.8 ml, 20.2 mmol) was added dropwise over a five minute period at room temperature. Stirring was continued for 30 minutes after which the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and quenched carefully by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 ml). The chloroform layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Column purification (hexane:ethyl acetate; 1.5:3.5) gave 1.54 g (100%) of the product as a syrup which was used as such for the subsequent step.
