Rhodium‐Catalyzed Remote C‐8 Alkylation of Quinolines with Activated and Unactivated Olefins: Mechanistic Study and Total Synthesis of EP4 Agonist

Reported herein is a rhodium(III)‐catalyzed regioselective distal C(sp2)‐H bond alkylation of quinoline N‐oxides using olefins as alkyl source and N‐oxide as the traceless directing group. The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope with excellent selectivity for C‐8 position and good yields of alky...
