67. Tetrahydroisoquinoline also reacted with cyclooctane and gave 4b in 64% yield when 3 equiv of tert-butyl peroxide was used.
68. In all cases, no alkylation of pyridine and quinoline derivatives at the meta-position of nitrogen was observed. For quinoline, a trace amount of monoalkylation product was observed with alkylation occurring at the ortho position of nitrogen.
