8-Aminoquinolines are important nitrogen-containing heterocycles widely existing in the natural products, bio-active molecules and agrochemicals. It has been developed as significant bidentate directing groups or as ligand auxiliary in various kinds of organic reactions, especially in the area of C-H bond functionalization. Therefore, the synthesis of such motifs, especially those with substituted quinolines is of great significance. This review focuses on the remote C-H bond functionalizaitons of 8-aminoquinolines on the C(5) position, including the advantages and disadvantages as well as an outlook in this field.
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.
