Highly regioselective palladium-catalyzed oxidative coupling of indolizines and vinylarenes via C-H bond cleavage.
A highly regioselective oxidative coupling reaction between indolizines and vinylarenes has been accomplished in the presence of palladium catalysts to give only the branched alpha-product in high efficiency. The regioselectivity is promoted significantly by bidentate nitrogen ligands.
