Distal aminoalkyl-substituted quinones have been efficiently prepared through silver-catalyzed site-selective deconstruction and C-C bond transformation of unstrained N-acylated cyclic amines. This method enjoys mild reaction conditions, high selectivity, a broad scope of substrates, and a low catalytic loading of silver. This strategy can also be applied to the modification of peptides bearing cyclic amine residues.
