15. Compound 3b was obtained with the nonformylated starting material 2b in a 6:4 mixture, respectively. This mixture was used in the next step without further purification: A.A. Cordi, P. Decos, E.

21. A very interesting one-pot procedure has been developed by for the synthesis of quinoline and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine derivatives. The method is based on the formylation of ortho-dilithiated N-pivaloylanilines followed by treatment with carbonyl compounds and KHMDS. However, the method failed when 2-methycyclohexanone was used as the carbonyl component J.I. Úbeda, M. Villacampa, and C. Avendaño Synthesis 1998 1176
