Abstract: | When 2, 3(CO)-benzoylene-4-phenyl-5-keto-7, 7-dimethyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinoline is catalytically hydrogenated using Adams catalyst, the five-membered ring carbonyl group is reduced to an alcohol group. The acetate, urethane, monoxime, and hydrochloride of the reduction product are prepared. Their IR spectra are measured. When 2, 3 (CO)-benzoylene-4-phenyl-5-keto-7, 7-dimethyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinoline is reduced by zinc dust and glacial acetic acid, both carbonyl groups are reduced to CH2, and 2, 3 (CH2)-benzylene-4-phenyl-5-keto-7, 7-dimethyl-5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinoline is formed.For Part XIX see 2]. |
