Arylations of electron-rich heteroatom-substituted olefins were performed with electron-rich arylboronic acids via palladium(II) catalysis. This mild protocol, which offers access to functionalized enamides, exploits oxygen gas for reoxidation and a stable 1,10-phenanthroline bidentate ligand to promote the palladium(II) regeneration and to control the regioselectivity.

A highly efficient and stereoselective arylation of in situ-generated azavinyl carbenes affords 2,2-diaryl enamines at ambient temperatures. These transition-metal carbenes are directly produced from readily available and stable 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in the presence of a rhodium carboxylate catalyst. In several cases, the enamines can be cyclized into substituted indoles employing copper catalysis.

A Rh(III)-catalyzed protocol for the amidation of anilide and enamide C-H bonds with isocyanates provides direct and efficient syntheses of N-acyl anthranilamides, enamine amides, and pyrimidin-4-one heterocycles.
