2-Chloro-3-hydroxy­methyl-7,8-dimethyl­quinoline

All non-H atoms of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₂ClNO, are co-planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.055 Å). The hydr­oxy H atom is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating zigzag chains running along the b axis.

Substituted quinoline-3-carbaldehydes are intermediates for annelation and functional group modification; for a review of the synthesis of quinolines by the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction, see: Meth-Cohn (1993).

S1. Experimental

2-Chloro-7,8-dimethylquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (220 mg, 1 mmol), sodium borohydride (38 mg, 1 mmol) and catalytic amount of montmorillonite K-10 were placed in a beaker. The contents were irradiated at 500 W for 5 min. The product was dissolved in ethyl acetate and the residue removed by filtration. The filtrate was subjected to column chromatography on silica, and ethyl acetate/petroleum ether was used as the eluant. The solvent was evaporated and the residue recrystallized from chloroform to give colorless crystals.

S2. Refinement

Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.97, O–H 0.82 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C,O). The methyl H-atoms were refined as disordered over two equally occupied sites. The hydroxy H-atom is also disordered over two positions with equal site occupancy.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
