Procedure
To a stirred solution of 2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,4-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine (4) (0.48 g, 2.06 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) at room temperature was added sodium borohydride (98 mg, 2.51 mmol), gas evolution commenced immediately, the resulting mixture was stirred for 3 hours. At this time the solvent was evaporated and the residue suspended in water (5 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 ml). The organic extract was then extracted with 2M hydrochloric acid (2×15 ml). The aqueous layer was basified with 2M sodium hydroxide and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 ml), the organic extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to yield 6-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,4-dimethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (6) (350 mg, 73%) as a yellow oil, 1H NMR CDCl3 δ?1.55 (s, 3H), 1.9 (m, 1H), 2.2 (s, 3H), 2.5 (m, 2H), 2.95 (m, 1H), 3.8 (s, 6H), 4.1 (m, 1H), 5.2 (m, 1H), 6.5 (m, 2H), 7.3 (d, 1H J=4).
