title: Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of N-vinyl pyrroles and indoles.
abstract: A stereospecific palladium-catalyzed N-vinylation of azaheterocycles with vinyl triflates is described. Cyclic and acyclic vinyl triflates along with nonnucleophilic azaheterocycles were found to be substrates for this palladium-catalyzed synthesis of N-vinyl pyrrole and indole derivatives.
