The development of a ligand-assisted Pd-catalyzed C-H alkenylation of aliphatic amines is reported. Our studies indicated that an amino-acid-derived ligand renders the C-H bond activation step reversible and promotes the traditionally difficult alkenylation process. The C(sp<sup>3</sup>)-H alkenylation proceeds through a 5-membered-ring cyclopalladation pathway that allows access to complex aliphatic heterocycles that could be useful to practioners of synthetic and medicinal chemistry. ...[more]
