2-(PYRIDIN-2-YL)QUINOLIN-8-AMINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE

Uses

Developed in the Engle lab, this 2-pyridyl-8-aminoquinoline (PAQ) auxiliary is a pincer-like, removable tridentate directing group that stabilizes 6-membered palladacycles for olefin functionalization. Together with similar ligand PPA (901251), researchers demonstrated regioselective remote hydrocarbofunctionalization of alkene-containing substrate classes (e.g. 4-pentenoic acids, allylic alcohols, homoallyl amines, bis-homoallylamines) using Pd(II) catalysis.
