Abstract

A novel Cu-catalyzed direct alkenylation of simple alkanes with styrenes was described. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OTf)2, a diverse range of alkenes undergo coupling with cycloalkanes to produce (E)-alkyl alkenes. This transformation is proposed to proceed via a radical process.
