A new and efficient approach for the N-arylation of 8-aminoquinoline amides with diaryliodonium salts has been developed. This chelation-assisted selective C–N cross-coupling reaction gave the desired N-arylated 8-aminoquinoline in moderate to good yields. In contrast to previous reports, no additional ligands and bases are used in this transformation. In addition, the anion of the diaryliodonium salt plays an important role in the success of the process.
