Rhodium‐Catalyzed C(sp3)–H Arylation of 8‐Methylquinolines with Arylsilanes.

Comprehensive Summary: We herein describe a Cp*RhIII‐catalyzed C(sp3)–H mono‐arylation of 8‐methylquinolines with benign arylsilanes. The use of 1‐adamantane carboxylic acid can benefit the efficiency in this transformation, and AgF was both activator and reoxidant. Control experiments indicated inability of C—H cleavage in determining the rate of the reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
