Org Lett. 2012 Jul 6;14(13):3304-7. doi: 10.1021/ol301249n. Epub 2012 Jun 13.

Abstract

A mild and efficient method for the direct alkenylation of nonaromatic enamides was achieved through a palladium(II)-catalyzed C-H functionalization. The reaction scope includes cyclic and acyclic enamides and a range of activated alkenes. This approach represents the first successful direct C(3)-functionalization of nonaromatic cyclic enamides.
