Dual reactivity of 1,2-disubstituted dihydro-N-heteroaromatic systems. 6. Electrochemical oxidation of N-acyl derivatives of 2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines

In the electrochemical oxidation of 1-acyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydroquinolines, first the radical cations of the starting compounds form; these then lose a benzoyl radical and go over to the 2-arylquinoline cations.For Communication No. 5, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 801–805, June, 1985.
