Investigations in the region of 2,3′-biquinolyl. 4. Alkylation of the dianion of 2,3′-biquinolyl

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF02251549

With alkyl chlorides and alkylphenyl ethers the dianion of 2,3′-biquinolyl forms the products from alkylation at position 4′. Their treatment with alkyl halides or water gives 1′,4′-dialkyl-1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyls or 4′-alkyl-1′,4′-dihydro-2,3′-biquinolyls respectively. 1999 Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.
