The amination of 3‐, 5‐, 6‐, 7‐ and 8‐nitroquinoline via the vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS) with 1,1,1‐trimethylhydrazinium iodide (TMHI) in the presence of t ‐BuOK in DMSO was studied. The amination occurs regioselectively giving ortho or ortho and para isomers relative to the nitro group with a high yield (95‐86%). 2‐Nitroquinoline does not undergo vicarious amination but displacement of the labile nitro group by an amino group occurs and then transformation to an imine compound and hydrolysis gives2(1 H )‐quinolinone.
