Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivatives of Reed's base and its complete degradation to 2-amino-1-naphthoic acid are described.Similarly synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dimethyl-6,7-benzoquinoline (Combes' base) and its complete degradation to 2-amino-3-naphthoic acid is also described.This constitutes an evidence that Reed's base is angular while Combes' base is linear.
