title: Rhodium-Catalyzed Alkylation of C-H Bonds in Aromatic Amides with Styrenes via Bidentate-Chelation Assistance.
abstract: Rhodium-catalyzed alkylation reactions of aromatic C-H bonds in aromatic amides with styrene derivatives have been developed by using an 8-aminoquinoline as a bidentate directing group. C-C bond formation selectively occurred between the ortho C-H bonds in aromatic amides and the terminal carbon of the styrene derivatives. The presence of an 8-aminoquinoline moiety is essential for the success of the reaction.
