69. In contrast, benzaldehydes do not react under these conditions.
70. Small amounts of di-olefination products are generally observed, together with significant amounts of unreacted starting material.

76. Importantly, under our standard reaction conditions, N-methylindole did not react with styrene, indicating the compatibility of the 2-H and 3-H positions of the indole with this method.
77. The strategic use of the rhodium-catalyzed functionalization of acetanilides can be further illustrated by Equation (6).
