Hypervalent iodine-mediated highly mono- and di-selective etherification of 8-aminoquinolines at the C5 and C6 positions.

A mild, metal-free and highly regioselective approach for etherification of 8-aminoquinoline scaffolds at their C5 and C6 positions has been developed with hypervalent iodine compounds. The transformation proceeds by direct C-H functionalization unde…
