AgNTf2‑Catalyzed Regioselective C–H Alkenylation of N,N-Dialkylanilines with Ynamides

Regioselective C–H alkenylation of N,N-dialkylanilines with ynamides was developed using AgNTf2 as a catalyst. This approach represents a facile hydroarylation of ynamides, allowing for the introduction of an alkenyl group exclusively at the para position of aniline derivatives. As a result, a series of 4-alkenyl N,N-dialkyl­anilines were synthesized with excellent regioselectivities.
