The site-selective C8-alkylation of quinolines has been accomplished using cyclopropyl alcohols as the alkylating agents and -oxide as a weak chelating group in the presence of Co(III) catalysis via merging C-H/C-C bond activation. The use of cyclopropanol as the alkyl source, Co catalysis, substrate scope, HRMS analysis of the reaction intermediate, and late-stage mutation of drug molecules/natural products are the important practical features.

The site-selective modification of quinolines and their analogs has emerged as a pivotal topic in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Herein, we describe the rhodium(III)-catalyzed C8-alkylation of quinoline -oxides with maleimides as alkylating agents, resulting in the formation of bioactive succinimide-containing quinoline derivatives. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with complete functional group tolerance.
