Chemistry of Diborane and Sodium Borohydride. IX. The Reduction of 3-Substituted Pyridines and Quinolines, and 4-Substituted Isoquinolines with Sodium Borohydride

Abstract

Reductions of 3-substituted pyridines, quinolines and 4-substituted isoquinolines with sodium borohydride were examined. The reduction of the nucleus occurred and the reduction mechanisms were investigated.
