Abstract

... Herein, we report Rh(III)-catalyzed vinylation for the direct synthesis of styrenes without an external oxidant using vinyl ... To establish the relevance of rhodacycle 4 in catalysis, we monitored by 1 H NMR a catalytic vinylation ... This result is consistent with 4 as a catalyst resting state ...
