 Step 1: Sodium borohydride (240 mg, 6.4 mmol) was added batchwise to a solution of quinoline-3-carbaldehyde (910 mg, 5.8 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours and then the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 mL). Subsequently, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 30 mL). The organic phases were combined, washed with brine and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude quinolin-3-ylmethanol (795 mg, 86% yield). |  | [References]
