Abstract

Described herein is an organoborane-catalysed consecutive borylative reduction of quinolines and isoquinolines to furnish tetrahydro(iso)quinolines bearing a C(sp3)−B bond β to the nitrogen atom. The installed C−B bond is oxidatively transformed to the hydroxy group in one pot. The present double hydroboration is proposed to proceed via a stepwise ionic mechanism involving a boronium ion. The stereo-outcome was found to be dependent on the position (C2 vs C4) of the substituents in quinolines. (Figure presented.).
