reagent doubt
Socl2 changes -OH to -Cl, but even though it's doing the same thing with quinoline, im seeing it the first time, what is quinoline doing here? Is it the same as pyridine which causes Inversion (SN2)?

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.I don't think it's anything like what pyridine does in terms of stereochemistry 'cause that's not even relevant here as you can see there's no chiral centre being generated at the point where the reaction happens
I'll check up a bit on this but I have a strong feeling that the "quinoline" was for the second step and they mistakenly wrote it with the first one. (It's there to make the reduction reaction milder and stop it at the aldehyde stage; acts as a catalytic poison)
I can elaborate a bit if you want
This makes sense.
Yea ig they wrote it with socl2, it's supposed to be in 2nd step as it's also a part of lindlar
Not exactly a "part" of lindlar but yes it is something we use in cooperation with that.
Other alternatives like xylene and all are also used sometimes
So it's printed wrong
Yup that's most probably the case
