Copper-catalyzed intermolecular amidation of 8-methylquinolines with N-fluoroarylsulfonimides via Csp3–H activation†
Abstract
An efficient copper-catalyzed C–H amidation of 8-methylquinolines with N-fluoroarylsulfonimides via Csp3–H activation is described. The reaction proceeds with high functional group tolerance, providing a novel approach to valuable quinolin-8-ylmethanamine derivatives in the absence of an additional oxidant.
