Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02315186

With sodium hydride and alkyl- and arylmagnesium halides, 2,3-biquinoline forms the products from addition at position 4′, and with allylmagnesium chloride it forms the products from addition at position 2′. Methods were developed for the synthesis of 4′-R-1′,4′-dihydro- and 2′-allyl-1′,2′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolines. 1998 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
