Oxidative coupling between C(sp(2))-H bonds and C(sp(3))-H bonds is achieved by the Ni(II)-catalyzed reaction of benzamides containing an 8-aminoquinoline moiety as the directing group with toluene derivatives in the presence of heptafluoroisopropyl iodide as the oxidant. The method has a broad scope and shows high functional group compatibility. Toluene derivatives can be used as the coupling partner in an unreactive solvent.
