In this short note communication, we report the synthesis of a novel amide 4’-methyl-2’-(quinolin-8-ylcarbamoyl)-biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester by the Ru-catalyzed C(sp2)-H bond arylation reaction. The catalytic C-H bond functionalization reaction was employed, amongst other reaction reagents and conditions, [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 as a precatalyst and (p-tol)3P as a ligand. The arylation product was characterized by various spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, GC-MS, and IR spectroscopy), and its composition was confirmed by elemental analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
