Palladium catalyzed C(sp3)–H alkylation of 8-methylquinolines with aziridines: access to functionalized γ-quinolinylpropylamines†
Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed directed site-selective C(sp3)–H alkylation of 8-methylquinolines has been accomplished using aziridine as the alkylating source via a sequential C–H and C–N bond activation process. The site selectivity, functional group tolerance and possible late-stage modifications are important practical features of this reaction.
