Abstract

Easy on, easy off: Directing groups found to promote the palladium-catalyzed amination of γ C(sp3)-H and C(sp 2)-H bonds of secondary amides included 5-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline, which can be removed under mild conditions (see scheme; CAN=ceric ammonium nitrate). In conjunction with a β-C-H methylation or γ-C-H arylation step, the γ-C(sp3)-H amination provided access to complex pyrrolidones from readily available precursors.
