only a few reductions of aromatic halides with lithium aluminum hydride have been reported. For example, three hour reflux of p-bromotoluene in tetrahydrofuran with a mixture of lithium slumlnum hydride and lithium hydride (1) yields 14% toluene; g-chloroiodobenzene \* Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan

We have recently reported that lithium aluminlum hydride (LAH), contrary to expectations of long standlng, can bring about reductive dehalogenatlon of a wide variety of so-called Inert organic halldes in high yields (>8O%)l. In par-
The selective reduction of 3,4-dicarbomethoxyquinoline by lithium aluminium hydride at low temperature affords only the unexpected 3-formyl 4-carbomethoxy quinoline. The difficulty of reduction of the usually more reactive 4-ester group can be explained by a steric hindrance by the H5 peri proton on
## Abstract The factors influencing the ease of the lithium aluminium hydride reduction of various 1,2‐epoxycycloalkanes and 1,2‐epoxyalkanes are described and discussed.
