ABSTRACT
A rhodium(III)-catalyzed oxidative olefination of 1,2-disubstituted arylhydrazines with alkenes via sp(2) C-H bond activation followed by an intramolecular aza-Michael reaction is described. This strategy allows the direct and efficient construction of highly substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-indazole scaffolds.

ABSTRACT
The rhodium-catalyzed oxidative alkenylation of N-benzyltriflamides with olefins followed by an intramolecular cyclization via C-H bond activation is described. This method results in the direct and efficient synthesis of highly substituted isoindoline frameworks.
