Ligand promoted Pd-catalyzed dehydrogenative alkenylation of hetereoarenes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Apr 11;50(28):3671-3. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48750d.

Abstract

An efficient Pd-catalyzed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of heteroarenes with styrenes and other olefinic substrates has been developed. This alkenylation paradigm encompasses a wide range of substrates and provides a straightforward approach toward C2-E-alkenylated azole motifs.
