A Pd/C/Zn mixture with alcohols has been revealed to be an efficient transfer hydrogenation system to quinolines. Furthermore, the metals mixture is able to activate alcohols as N-alkylating agents in a hydrogen autotransfer process. 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroquinolines and N-alkylated tetrahydroquinolines from quinolines have been obtained with excellent yields in one step.
