A weak carbonyl coordination-guided regioselective C4 allylation of indoles is demonstrated using the versatile Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct in the presence of Rh catalysts in a redox-neutral fashion. The substrate scope, functional group diversity, oxidant free character, mechanistic aspects, and synthetic utilities are important practical features.

A weak coordination guided Ru(II)-catalyzed oxidative functionalization of arenes with unactivated olefins is developed, offering a wide variety of ortho-alkenylated benzamides, acetophenones, and benzophenone in high yields. The protocol accommodates several bioactive molecules and allows downstream synthetic manipulations leading to a 2,3-benzodiazepine scaffold. The reaction features a reversible metalation step and favors a regioselective β-hydride elimination event.
