The direct cross-coupling of quinoline-N-oxides with olefin derivatives has been realized using palladium acetate as the catalyst in the absence of external ligand and oxidant to give the corresponding 2-alkenylated quinolines and 1-alkenylated isoquinolines chemo- and regioselectively in 27-95% yield.
