Silver-catalyzed direct C–H oxidative carbamoylation of quinolines with oxamic acids

Abstract

A silver-catalyzed efficient and direct C–H carbamoylation of quinolines with oxamic acids to access carbamoylated quinolines has been developed through oxidative decarboxylation reaction. The reaction proceeds smoothly over a broad range of substrates with excellent functional group tolerance and excellent yields under mild conditions.
