Procedure

NaH (973 mg, 60% in mineral oil, 24.3 mmol) was added at 0° C., under inert atmosphere, to benzylalcohol (2.96 mL, 28.6 mmol) in DMF (10 mL). After 5 min at 0° C., the solution was warmed up to room temperature. After 10 min at room temperature, 4-chloro-7-methoxy-8-methylquinoline N-oxide (61, 3.2 g, 14.3 mmol) was added in one potion. The resulting black solution was stirred at room temperature under inert atmosphere for another 30 min, then poured into ice-cooled water, and extracted 4 times with AcOEt. Combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (gradient AcOEt/CH2Cl2, 1:1 to 1:0, then AcOEt/MeOH 9:1) to give 2.5 g (59%) of the target product 62 as a yellow powder: m/z=296 (M+H)+.
