Palladium‐Catalyzed Enantioselective Narasaka–Heck Reaction/Direct C−H Alkylation of Arenes: Iminoarylation of Alkenes

Abstract A palladium‐catalyzed reaction of γ,δ‐unsaturated oxime esters with oxadiazoles afforded dihydropyrroles in good to excellent yields through an intramolecular iminopalladation/intermolecular direct heteroarene C−H alkylation cascade. This unprecedented iminoarylation of alkenes was subsequently realized in an enantioselective manner in the presence of a chiral bidentate phosphine ligand (Synphos).
