An efficient and regioselective remote C(5)–H nitration of 8-aminoquinoline amides by using the economical and nontoxic Fe(NO<sub>3sub>)<sub>3sub>·9H<sub>2sub>O as promoter and nitro source has been developed. Furthermore, when CuCl<sub>2sub>·2H<sub>2sub>O was used as a catalyst, 8-aminoquinoline amides dominantly underwent bisnitration to give 5,7-dinitro-8-aminoquinoline amides. Notably, this is the first example in which Fe(NO<sub>3sub>)<sub>3sub>·9H<sub>2sub>O plays a dual role as both chelating promoter and nitration reagent, and CuCl<sub>2sub>·2H<sub>2sub>O acts as an efficient catalyst for the bisnitration of quinolines.
