established using sodium hydride (NaH) in the presence of sodium iodide (NaI) under mild reaction conditions. The present protocol with the NaH‐NaI composite allows for reduction of not only aromatic and heteroaromatic but also aliphatic N,N‐dimethylamides with wide substituent compatibility. Retention of α‐chirality in the reduction of α‐enantioriched amides was accomplished. Use of sodium deuteride (NaD)
The invention provides quinoline derivatives, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and their use as medicaments. The active compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of proliferative neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases.
