Abstract
Cationic half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts provide an efficient, general and atom-economical method for the synthesis of 2-alkylated pyridine derivatives via C-H addition to olefins. A wide range of pyridine and olefin substrates including α-olefins, styrenes, and conjugated dienes are compatible with the catalysts.
