title: Synthesis of 1,2-diheteroatom-substituted alkenes via rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular hydrogen transfer.
abstract: While 1,2-diheteroatom-substituted alkenes represent useful synthetic building blocks, there are no simple, general procedures available for preparation of such compounds. We describe here a simple catalytic procedure based on rhodium C-H bond activation for the synthesis of diheteroatom alkenes of the type R(3)SiOCH=CHG (G = -OR, -NRR').
