Abstract

A novel Pd(II)-catalyzed vinylic C-H activation and cyclization has been developed, reacting a series of small, medium, and large N-acetyl hydrazones of acylcycloalkenes with vinyl azides to access diverse cycloalkeno[c]-fused pyridine scaffolds. This protocol provides progress in C(sp2)-H bond activation of medium to large cycloalkenes, and the target products can be obtained in a specific regioselectivity with good functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope.
