Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-2-pyridylmethanol, 0.982 g (6.84 mmole) in 10 ml methylene chloride was treated with 0.814 g thionyl chloride at room temperature for one hour. The mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium bicaronate solution, extracted with methylene chloride, the extracts dried and solvent evaporated to give 815 mg of product as colorless crystals. 1H--NMR(CDCl3)ppm (delta): 4.7 (s, 2H), 7.1-8.0 (m, 3H).
