Oxidation and alkylation processes compete in the oxidative transformation of alkylindeneanilines in an alkaline medium.Oxidation leads mainly to the formation of formanilide anbd the corresponding carbonyl compound.Alkylation leads to a product which easily eliminates the aniline molecule with the formation of a derivative of the 1-aza-1,3-diene.A combination of alkylation and oxidation led to derivatives of quinoline.It is assumed that the alkylation-dehydrocyclization-elimination of alkylindeneanilines to quinolines by the action of oxygen and alkali is a variant of the Doebner-Miller reaction.During oxidation in the presence of sodium borohydride the products from conjugate oxidation-reductiono, i.e., the α-imino and β-amino alcohols, are also formed in addition to quinolines and oxidation and alkylation products.
