title: Rhodium-catalyzed olefination of aryl tetrazoles via direct C-H bond activation.
abstract: Rh(III)-catalyzed direct olefination reaction via aromatic C-H bond activation is described using tetrazole as the directing group. This reaction provides a straightforward way for the synthesis of ortho-alkenyl aryl tetrazoles. Various functional groups tolerate the reaction conditions and afford the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields.
