Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed C-H iodination of unactivated alkenes is reported. A picolinamide directing group enables the regioselective functionalization of a wide array of olefins to furnish iodination products as single stereoisomers. Mechanistic investigations suggest the reversible formation of a six-membered alkenyl palladacycle intermediate through a turnover-limiting C-H activation.
