I. General Information 1 MR and 13 C MR spectra were recorded on a JEL ECS-400 spectrometer in CDCl 3 with tetramethylsilane as the internal standard. Data are reported as follows: chemical shifts in ppm ( ), multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, c= complex), coupling constant (z), and integration. Infrared spectra (IR) were obtained using a JASC FT/IR-4200 spectrometer; absorptions are reported in reciprocal centimeters with the following relative intensities: s (strong), m (medium), or w (weak). Mass spectra and high resolution mass spectra (RMS) were obtained using a JEL JMS-700 spectrometer. Column chromatography was performed with Si 2 (Silicycle SiliaFlash F60 (230-400 mesh)). II. Materials 1,2-Dichloroethane (CAS 107-06-2), Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid (CAS 98-89-5), Acetic Acid (CAS 64-19-7), were purchased from acalai Tesque. Co(acac) 2 (CAS 14024-48-7), o-toluic acid (CAS 118-90-1), 2,6-Dimethylbenzoic Acid(CAS 632-46-2), Benzoic Acid(CAS 65-85-0), Biphenyl- 2-carboxylic Acid (CAS 947-84-2), 4-Chloro-2-methylbenzoic Acid (CAS 7499-07-2), 4-Fluoro-2- methylbenzoic Acid (CAS 321-21-1), 4-Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic Acid (CAS 6245-57-4), 2-Bromo- 4-methylbenzoic Acid (CAS 7697-27-0), 2,6-Difluorobenzoic Acid (CAS 385-00-2), Pivalic Acid (CAS 75-98-9), o-ansic Acid (CAS 579-75-9), 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzoic Acid (CAS 433-97-6), 3- Methoxy-2-methylbenzoic Acid (CAS 55289-06-0) and 8-Aminoquinoline (CAS 578-66-5) were purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co. Ag 2 C 3 (CAS 534-16-7) was purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. III. Synthesis of Starting Materials All amides bearing an 8-aminoquinoline moiety were prepared by reacting the corresponding acid or acid chloride with 8-aminoquinoline. 1 General Procedure for the Preparation of Starting Amides. (1) Synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids. To a stirred solution of a carboxylic acid (15 mmol) and DMF (5 drops) in C 2 Cl 2 (10 ml), (CCl) 2 (1.5 ml, 18 mmol) was added dropwise. The solution was magnetically stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was then removed by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was dissolved in C 2 Cl 2 (15 ml). After cooling the reaction mixture to 0 C, a solution of 8- Aminoquinoline (17 mmol) and triethylamine (30 mmol) in 10 ml of the same solvent was added dropwise. The resulting mixture was allowed to warm to rt and stirred overnight. The solution 1 (a) Ano, Y.; Tobisu, M.; Chatani,. rg. Lett. 2012, 14, 354. (b) Aihara, Y.; Chatani,. Chem. Sci. 2012, 4, 664.

containing the crude product was washed with saturated aqueous ac 3 (20 ml), and C 2 Cl 2 (3x20 ml). The combined organic phase was washed with 1 M Cl aq. (20 ml).the organic phase was dried over anhydrous a 2 S 4 and the solvent removed by evaporation. The resulting crude amide was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/etac = 5/1). IV. Synthesis of Acyloxylation Products. (1) General Procedure for the Acyloxylation of C- Bonds in Aromatic Amides with Carboxylic Acids To a 5 ml screw-capped vial, 2-methyl--(8-quinolinyl)benzamide (1a) (39.3 mg, 0.15 mmol), Co(acac) 2 (3.9 mg, 0.015 mmol), 2,6-dimethyl benzoic acid (2a) (33.8 mg, 0.225 mmol), Ag 2 C 3 (55.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) and DCE (0.5 ml) were added in air. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at 100 C. The mixture was washed with saturated aqueous ac 3 (10 ml) and brine (10 ml). The organic phase was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/etac= 10/1) to afford the alkylation product 3aa (49.4 mg, 80%) as a white solid. (2) A gram scale reaction To a 20 ml screw-capped vial, 2-methyl--(8-quinolinyl)benzamide (1a) (262.2 mg, 1.00 mmol), Co(acac) 2 (25.9 mg, 0.1 mmol), 2,6-dimethyl benzoic acid (2a) (225.8 mg, 1.50 mmol), Ag 2 C 3 (368.5 mg, 1.34 mmol) and DCE (3.3 ml) were added in air. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at 100 C. The mixture was washed with saturated aqueous ac 3 (15 ml) and brine (15 ml). The organic phase was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/etac= 10/1) to afford the alkylation product 3aa (349.6 mg, 85%) as a white solid. V.
