Initial direct chlorination of quinoline in the presence of aluminium trichloride, and subsequent treatment of the tetra- and pentachloroquinolines formed with phosphorus pentachloride at elevated temperatures gave heptachloroquinoline in high yield. Earlier attempts to convert quinoline directly to heptachloroquinoline using either a mixture of sulphuryl chloride, aluminium trichloride and sulphur monochloride, or phosphorus pentachloride gave mixtures of highly chlorinated quinolines which were difficult to purify.
