A copper‐catalyzed remoteC−Hamination of 8‐aminoquinoline scaffolds on the C5 position is described. The protocol employs commercially available N‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the amination reagent and shows broad substrate scope, providing various 5‐aminated quinolines in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. These reactions feature complete regioselectivity, operational simplicity
Herein, we disclose a mild and versatile nickel-catalyzed method for exclusive C3-selective thioetherification, alkylation, arylation, acylation, and phosphorylation of quinolines with a variety of electrophiles. Unactivated quinolines can be functionalized without directing groups at roomtemperature. Control experiments indicated that quinolines underwent 1,4-addition with nickel hydride species
