Catalytic Amide‐Mediated Methyl Transfer from Silanes to Alkenes in Fujiwara–Moritani Oxidative Coupling

Intramolecular assistance: Carbon-bound trimethylsilyl groups are activated intramolecularly by a carbonyl group and can participate in Heck reactions under oxidative conditions. Good stereoselectivities are obtained for a range of di- and trisubstituted alkenes (see example).
