Key words
C-H olefination - alkenylation - palladium

Significance
A new palladium/polyoxometalate-catalyzed aerobic olefination of unactivated sp³ C-H bonds has been developed. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles act as directing groups and the products undergo reversible intramolecular Michael addition to form bicyclic nitrogen-containing scaffolds.
Comment
The cationic bicyclic products undergo further synthetic transformations. For example, PtO2-catalyzed hydrogenation yields piperidines, and reduction with NaBH4 gives 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines. The pyridinium products can also be converted into the corresponding alkenes under basic conditions.
