Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyl-lithium (15% w/w, 36 ml, 0.05 mole) in hexane was added portionwise to a stirred solution of 3-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (7.3 g, 0.05 mole) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml.) at 0° under nitrogen. After the addition the solution was stirred for 0.5 hour to give a dark red solution of 8-lithio-3-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline.
