Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02256980

The 1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyl reacts with organolithium compounds to form the mixture of 4′-R-1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyls and 2′-R-1′,2′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyls in the ratio analogous to the conversion in the series of 2,3′-biquinolyl. The utiliza
