Graphical Abstract

Remote access: The first application of an oxalyl amide to direct CH functionalizations at remote positions is reported. The results show both C(sp2)H and C(sp3)H bonds at δ- and ε-positions are effectively activated, thus giving tetrahydroquinolines, benzomorpholines, pyrrolidines, and indolines in moderate to excellent yields by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular CH amination.

Abstract

An easily synthesized and accessible N,O-bidentate auxiliary has been developed for selective CH activation under palladium catalysis. The novel auxiliary showed its first powerful application in CH functionalization of remote positions. Both C(sp2)H and C(sp3)H bonds at δ- and ε-positions were effectively activated, thus giving tetrahydroquinolines, benzomorpholines, pyrrolidines, and indolines in moderate to excellent yields by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular CH amination.
