Copper-catalyzed 8-amido chelation-induced regioselective C–H fluoroalkylation of quinolines†
Abstract
An efficient and highly regioselective protocol for copper(II)-catalyzed remote C–H fluoroalkylation of 8-aminoquinoline amides with RfSO2Na (Rf = CF3, CF2H, C4F9, C5F11, and C6F13) is described. This reaction provides an effective strategy for the direct construction of fluorine-containing six-membered heteroaromatic core structures.
