Regioselective reduction of quinolines and related systems to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives with zinc borohydride

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919808005103

A simple and convenient procedure for the reduction of quinolines, isoquinoline and other related systems to the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives has been developed in the presence of catalytic amount of N,N-dimethyl aniline under sonication.
