Abstract
An efficient and regioselective alkenylation of azaheterocycle N-oxides with alkenes is catalyzed by iodine under metal- and external oxidant-free reaction conditions to provide various (E)-2-styrylazaheterocycles in good yields. The N-oxide group plays a dual role as both the directing group and an internal oxidant.
