Paper
A novel and efficient regioselective C–H fluorination of 8-aminoquinoline amides and sulfonamides at the C5 position was achieved. Using Selectfluor as a “F” reagent and HOAc as an additive, the reaction proceeds smoothly via a radical pathway. This method features metal-free conditions, a broad substrate scope and operational simplicity.
