While catalytic reduction of quinolines has gained interest as a way to provide direct and efficient access to tetrahydroquinolines or 1,2-dihydroquinolines, the catalytic synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines remains underdeveloped. Here, the authors demonstrate a catalytic 1,2-reduction of quinolines using a dinuclear aluminum complex.
