Abstract
Quaternary salts of the amides of N-(3-quinolinecarbonyl) amino acids (7) cyclise under the influence of base to give fourteen membered rings (9). This dimerisation is a reaction with high diastereoselectivity. The addition product 9 can be regarded as lipophilic, masked NAD model compound: 9 oxidizes 2-propanol under ZnCl2 catalysis to give in high yield acetone and the 1.4-dihydroquinoline.
