Published: March 2009

The Sc(OTf)(3)-catalyzed C-C bond formation by direct alkylation of quinolines and pyridines using simple alkanes was developed. Various alkanes reacted with quinolines and pyridines to give the corresponding alkylation products in 50-91% yields in the presence of tert-butyl peroxide.
