Procedure

Phosphorus oxychloride (4 mL, 429 mmol) was added to 7-chloro-4-hydroxyquinoline 2.86 g, 15.9 mmol) in a round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser. The mixture was heated to reflux for 2 h, then allowed to cool to room temperature. The solution was concentrated in vacuo to a thick oil, then dumped over cracked ice. The resulting solution was neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 (aq). The slurry was filtered and washed with water. The solids were dried under vacuum, afforded 4,7-dichloroquinoline as a white solid (2.79 g, 88.5% yield).
