Abstract

Stereochemistry of the reduction of 1-methyl-2е-phenyl-trans-decahydroquinoline-4-one has been studied under different conditions: the reduction by sodium in ethanol in accordance with the mechanism of this reaction gives mainly an equatorial alcohol; with sodium boron hydride – there forms a mixture of aminoalcohols with the predominance of an equatorial epimer; the reduction of aminoketone by aluminum isopropylate proceeds with the direction, usual for this method, and results in the predominant formation of axial alcohol.
