28. Several Hantzsch dihydropyridine derivatives were synthesized and applied to the reaction. Other 4,4-dihydro derivatives afforded the reduction products, but the yields were slightly lower than that of 1a. 4-Substituted (alkyl or aryl) Hantzsch dihydropyridines did not react under the conditions

30. 4, and so on, 5 Å sieves afforded the best results. See: Westheimer F.H., Taguchi K. J. Org. Chem. 36:1971;1570
31. 3 in the reaction of entry 1, the yield were 34 and 5%, respectively
32. 3
33. 3CN shows the selectivity between two substrates
34. 8. The results suggested that the participation of Lewis acid is crucial for the reaction progress, and that the iminium ion, which would be obtained via formation of the imine, did not play an important role in the reaction
35. 3CN (0.4 mmol) in methanol, only 0.078 mmol (39%) of N,N′-dibenzyl derivative was obtained along with 0.16 mmol of benzyl alcohol
36. The by-products included 2-phenyl- and 1-benzyl-2-phenylbenzimidazoles. In the presence of molecular oxygen, the yields of these compounds increased, and the results were applied to the synthesis of 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives; see: Nagata K., Itoh T., Ishikawa H., Ohsawa A.
