Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Reduction of esters of 2-metylquinoline-3-carboxylic acids and their perchlorates gave esters of 1,4-dihydro-2-methylquinoline-3-carboxylates, while derivatives of 1,2-dihydroquinoline were formed in the case of 1,2-dimethyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-7-methoxyquinolinium perchlorate. Reduction of esters of 2-methylquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, 1,2-dimethyl-3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methoxyquinolinium perchlorate and 3-acetyl-2-methyl-quinoline with sodium tetrahydroborate in acetic acid gave esters of 1,2-dimethyl- and 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid and 3-acetyl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline.
