Deskripsi
Controlling the partial reduction of quinolines is challenging, given the competing overreduction to tetrahydroquinolines. Here, the authors report a cobalt-amido cooperative catalyst for the selective, partial transfer hydrogenation of quinolines to 1,2-dihydroquinolines with H3N·BH3 as reductant.
