Key words
alkynylation - C-H activation - palladium

Significance
The first palladium-catalyzed alkynylation of unactivated C(sp³)-H bonds in aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives has been disclosed. 8-Aminoquinoline proved to be the best directing group to promote the desired alkynylation reaction.
Comment
Interestingly, replacement of the
8-aminoquinoline
moiety with a 1-aminonaphthyl group or N-methylation of the amide
group completely inhibited the ethynylation reaction, indicating
that both, the nitrogen of the quinoline moiety and the NH group
of the amide are essential for the reaction.
