Selective hydrogenation of quinoline and its homologs, isoquinoline, and phenyl-substituted pyridines in the benzene ring

Abstract: Hydrogenation of quinoline, its 2-, 3-, 6-, and 8-methyl and 2-isopropyl homologs, isoquinoline, acridine, benzo[h]quinoline, 2-phenylpyridine, 4-phenylpyridine, and 4-(3-phenylpropyl)pyridine over platinum oxide (and, in some instances, palladium or rhodium on charcoal) in strong acid (12 N HC1,12 N H2SO4, CF3COOH) leads to selective hydrogenation of the benzene ring. The fastest procedure is one employing PtOs in trifluoroacetic acid.

“…Thermal ellipsoids are shown at 50% probability levels, except for H-atoms which are drawn as small circles double bond to C-5 is blocked by the presence of two substituents at position 5 as in structure 12, no cyclisation was observed at C-4a and starting material was recovered. lt is proposed that this direct cyclisation is inhibited by an unfavourable steric interaction arising in structure 4 between an ortho proton on the aromatic ring and the axial proton at position 1 of the isoquinoline ring system (Fig. 3).…”
