Thionyl chloride (69.44 mmol, 5.06 mL, 5.0 eq.) was slowly added to a stirred solution of 2-morpholinoethan-1-ol (13.88 mmol, 2.5 g, 1.0 eq.) in dichloromethane (25 mL) with a catalytic amount of DMF at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was heated to 40 °C overnight. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by vacuum evaporation to give the crude product. The crude product was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude residue. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using dichloromethane solution containing 3% methanol as eluent to afford the target compound 4-(2-chloroethyl)morpholine (2.0 g, 74.0% yield) as a colorless liquid.1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz): δ 3.69 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 2H), 3.57 (m, J = 4.5 Hz, 4H ), 2.64 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.43 (t, J = 4.5 Hz, 4H); MS: [M + H]+ 149.95 (10%).

Steps:
2.2 Synthesis of 4-(2-chloroethyl)morpholine
To a stirred solution of 2-morpholinoethan-l-ol (step 1, 2.5 g, 13.88 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DCM (25 ml) at 0 °C then added thionyl chloride (5.06 mL, 69.44 mmol, 5.0 eq) followed by DMF (Cat.). The reaction mixture was heated to 40 °C for overnight. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the solvent was evaporated in vacuo providing a crude residue, which was diluted with DCM and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Organic layer was concentrated under reduced preesure gave crude residue which was purified by column chromatography by using 3% MeOH in DCM as an eluent to afford the desired compound (2.0 g, yield: 74.0%) as a colour less liquid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300MHz): δ 3.69 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 2H), 3.57 (m, J = 4.5 Hz, 4H), 2.64 (t, J = 6.9 Hz, 2H) and 2.43 (t, J = 4.5 Hz, 4H); Mass: [M+H]+149.95 (10%).
