Herein, a novel chelation-assisted C-H arylation reaction of benzo[h]quinoline is described. This transformation, using [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 as the catalyst and cheap and easily accessible arylsulfonyl chlorides as the arylation source, featured simple reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance. The successful application of some bioactive-molecule-based sulfonyl chlorides further highlighted the potential utility and importance of this desulfitative C-H arylation protocol.
