Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

8-(3-Chlorophenyl)-6-quinolincarbaldehyde (0.8 g) was dissolved in 20 mL of tetrahydrofuran and cooled to -78° C. Methyllithium (4.5 mL, 1.4M) in diethyl ether was added dropwise to the solution over 5 minutes, stirred for 20 minutes, poured into 50 mL of saturated ammonium chloride, and stirred for 5 minutes. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×75 mL). The extracts were combined and dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (30:70 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to obtain 0.72 g of 8-(3-chlorophenyl)-6-(1-hydroxyethyl)quinoline as a yellow oil.
