“…[8,9] In this regard, different palladium [10][11][12][13] and rhodium catalysts [14][15][16] have already been used to promote the oxidative alkenylation of heteroarenes with a variety of directing groups, namely, imines, [17,18] amines, [19] and carboxylates. [20,21] Rutheniumcatalyst-directed arylation of unactivated C-H bonds with phenols was reported by Ackermann. [22] Milstein et al pioneered the activation of benzene by using alkyl acrylates.…”
