A facile protocol for the synthesis of quinoline formaldehydes via direct oxidative C–H bonds functionalization of methyl-azaheteroarenes in the presence of I2–DMSO has been described. This method is metal-free and easy to operate. This reaction provided a convenient route for the preparation of a range of important quinoline formaldehydes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
