“…According to previous reports, the C2 position of quinoline N -oxides may be functionalized via a number of reaction processes, which include the C–H bond alkylation, − arylation, alkenylation, − acetoxylation, , sulfonylation, − amidation, − amination, − hydroxylation, , phosphonation, , and thiolation of quinoline N -oxides. However, to the best of our knowledge, the preparation of quinolin-2-yl substituted ureas from readily available quinoline N -oxides has never been reported.…”
