Abstract Schiff bases synthesized by condensation of 5-and 6-aminoquinolines, 5-amino-2- methylquinoline, nitroanilines, and pyrimidinylaminoanilines with substituted benzaldehydes and pyridinecarbaldehydes were reduced with sodium tetrahydridoborate in acetic acid to obtain the corresponding N-aryl (hetaryl) benzylamines, N-(pyridylmethyl) anilines, and N- (1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinolyl) benzylamine derivatives. The reduction of arylhetarylimines ...
