title: Ruthenium-catalyzed regioselective C-H alkenylation directed by a free amino group.
abstract: The ruthenium-catalyzed alkenylation reactions of 2-aminobiphenyls and cumylamine proceed smoothly to produce the corresponding regioselectively alkenylated products. These reactions involve a C-H bond cleavage directed by their free amino groups.
