Reaction Steps

(2-Chloro-6-methylpyridin-4-yl)methanol (0.212 g, 1.35 mmol) and thionyl chloride (0.12 mL, 1.62 mmol) were combined in methylene chloride (4 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solvents were removed and the product dried under vacuum for several hours to afford 0.24 g (quant.) as a clear oil which was used without purification. Mass spec.: 176.0 (MH)+.
