Abstract
An intramolecular reaction of 3-alkynyl and 3-alkenyl-2-arylpyridines selectively gave 4-azafluorene compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Cp*RhCl 2] 2 and Cu(OAc) 2. Pyridine-directed C-H bond activation along with "rollover" are likely to be key steps of this transformation.
