A few measurements are recorded in the literature on the basicity of and quinaldine.'~~,~ With the exception of the constants found by Goldschmidt for these two heterocyclics, the results are in good agreement. However, the basic strength of the a-substituted tetrahydroquinolines has not been investigated. This manuscript reports the comparison of the ionization constants in absolute methanol of some members of the tetrahydroquinoline ...
