known methods, our reaction does not need to use strong
organometallic reagent as the base and the reaction is very simple
to run. We believed that coordination of 4-picoline to the organo-
Pd intermediate generated in the reaction mixture is essential for
the activation of the C(sp3)-H bond. Efforts are underway to expand
the reaction scope and the results will be reported in due course.
