摘要

A simple and efficient nickel-catalyzed oxidative halogenation (Cl, Br) of C(5) and C(7) C-H bond of 8-aminoquinoline amides has been developed. This method employed low-cost and easy availability nickel as catalyst and oxygen as oxidant. The reactions have good functional groups compatibility, giving highly selective C(5) and C(7) di-halogenated products in good to excellent yields.
