title: Rh(NHC)-catalyzed direct and selective arylation of quinolines at the 8-position.
abstract: A new catalytic protocol for the regioselective direct arylation of quinoline derivatives at the 8-position has been developed. The reaction is catalyzed by a Rh(NHC) system, and the choice of the NHC ligand was most important for achieving high reactivity and selectivity.
