C-H activation reactions allow transformations on relatively unfunctionalised organic molecules. Here, the authors describe rhodium-catalysed C-H bond activation of unprotected anilines with alkynes leading to C-C bond formation (rather than the more usual C-N), and subsequent annulation to form quinolines.
