Various olefins can be smoothly transformed in the presence of a Pd-based catalyst system and (hetero)aromatic amines or nitroarenes to synthetically interesting amides in good yields and often with high regioselectivity (see scheme). Combining this atom-efficient procedure with established functionalizations of the resulting products allows the efficient preparation of quinolines.
