Bc. Ranu et al., REGIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF QUINOLINES AND RELATED SYSTEMS TO 1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDRO DERIVATIVES WITH ZINC BOROHYDRIDE, Synthetic communications, 28(3), 1998, pp. 485-492
A simple and convenient procedure for the reduction of quinolines, iso
quinoline and other related systems to the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetra
hydro derivatives has been developed in the presence of catalytic amou
nt of N,N'-dimethyl aniline under sonication.
