title: Amide-directed alkenylation of sp(2) C-H Bonds catalyzed by a cationic Rh(I)/BIPHEP complex under mild conditions: dramatic rate acceleration by a 1-pyrrolidinecarbonyl group.
abstract: A cationic rhodium(I)/BIPHEP complex catalyzes amide-directed regioselective alkenylations of olefinic or aromatic sp(2) C-H bonds in good yields under mild reaction conditions. The use of a 1-pyrrolidinecarbonyl group as a directing group dramatically accelerates the reaction.
