title: Rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-C coupling of arenes with 2-vinyloxiranes: synthesis of allylic alcohols.
abstract: A rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-C coupling between 2-vinyloxiranes and arenes directed by different chelating groups has been realized via a C-H activation pathway. This reaction proceeded under conditions with a low catalyst loading, and allylic alcohols were isolated as the coupling products. A series of benzoazepanes has been synthesized by following this coupling.
