ABSTRACTThe structure of quinoline oligomers synthesized by the catalytic dehydrogenative condensation reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline was elucidated on the basis of various spectroscopic data including the 2D COSY 1H NMR. The x-ray crystal structural study of two quinoline dimers successfully isolated from the bulk material resolved the puzzle of ring conjunction positions between quinoline units of the oligomer product. A reaction mechanism is proposed. From this mechanism a delicate balance between dehydrogenation and polymerization activity of the catalyst is required to optimize the yield and the molecular weight of the product.
