title: Palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of cyclic enamides with aryl silanes by sp(2) C-H activation.
abstract: It does get in! A fluoride-assisted direct cross-coupling of cyclic enamides with trialkoxy aryl silanes by a palladium-catalyzed C--H activation leads to a wide range of enamides in yields of up to 95 %.
