Org Lett. 2013 Oct 18;15(20):5194-7. doi: 10.1021/ol402262c. Epub 2013 Sep 27.

Abstract

An efficient method for the Pd-catalyzed regioselective C-2 arylation of quinolines is presented. Reactions of various substituted quinolines and unactivated arenes have been conducted under mild conditions. The result shows good product yields of 2-arylquinolines, which are highly useful building blocks for the synthesis of bioactive alkaloid natural products and drug molecules.
