Herein, we report a direct method for palladium-catalyzed coordination-induced oxidative remote C-H aryl etherification of 8-amidoquinolines with p -benzoquinone monoacetal. The method provides access to C5-aryl etherified quinolines and shows site-selectivity different from that of typical palladium-catalyzed C(sp 2 )-H activation reactions. The p -benzoquinone monoacetals act both as oxidants and as aryl etherification reagents. By using proper substrates, C5-aminated quinolines and C4-etherifed 1-naphthylamine could also be formed.
