We report a Rh(I)-catalyzed C-H activation/alkenylation/electrocyclization cascade and subsequent reduction for the synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydropyridines. These products can be accessed on a gram scale with low catalyst loadings and at high reaction concentrations. Additionally, a modified Rh-catalyst, prepared from [RhCl(cod)]<sub>2</sub> as a robust bench-stable precatalyst was developed to enable straightforward reaction set up without the use of a glovebox. To demonstrate the p ...[more]
