A series of isomeric phenylquinoline-8-carboxamides have been synthesized and evaluated as antitumor agents. This configuration is close to the minimum chromophore required for intercalative binding, since the binding mode of the compounds is dependent on the presence and position of the phenyl ring. If the ring is appended at the 4- or 5-position, it cannot lie within the DNA-intercalation site, and the compounds do not intercalate as shown by both unwinding and helix extension assays. In contrast, the 2-, 3-, and 6-phenyl isomers (where the phenyl ring lies coplanar with the quinoline and in the intercalation site) bind by intercalation. Only those isomers that intercalate show in vivo antitumor activity, with the 2-phenyl derivative in particular possessing broad-spectrum activity in both leukemia and solid-tumor assays.
An efficient method for the direct synthesis of substituted quinolines from anilines and aldehydes through C–H functionalization, C–C/C–N bond formation, and C–C bond cleavage has been developed. The method is simple and practical and employs air as an oxidant.

Herein, a novel cobalt(III)‐catalyzed and TFA‐controlled [3+2+1] cyclization of diverse anilines and terminal alkynes has been realized by using DMSO as both the solvent and the C1 source, which led to the specific synthesis of privileged 3‐arylquinolines in one pot and regioselectively. Mechanistic investigations revealed that this versatile transformation might be initiated with a C−H activation
simple approach for palladium-catalyzed C–H functionalization reactions utilizing an organophosphorus/sulfonate hypervalent iodine reagent as both an oxidant and the source of a functional group has been developed. Through this method, the oxidative phosphorylation-, sulfonation-, and hydroxylation of unactivated benzyl C(sp3)–H bonds, along with the hydroxylation and arylation of aryl C(sp2)–H bonds,
Disclosed herein is a Pd(II)-catalyzedC(sp3)–H/P–H oxidative cross-coupling reaction between 8-methylquinolines with H-phosphonates or diarylphosphine oxides via chelation-assisted C(sp3)–H bond activation. The protocol exhibits a relatively broad functional-group tolerance and exclusive chemo- and regioselectivity. Furthermore, detailed mechanistic studies support the proposed reaction pathway.
