Scope of the reaction with respect to aliphatic carboxylates. Reaction conditions: aliphatic carboxylates (0.2 mmol), PdCl2 (2 mol%), Xantphos (3 mol%), Cy-JohnPhos (4 mol%), and 2,4,6-collidine (1.0 equiv) in DMA (2 mL), irradiated with 30 W blue LEDs for 15 h under Ar. Yields of isolated products, the ratio of isomers determined by 1H NMR analysis. aPdCl2 (5 mol%), Xantphos (6 mol%), and Cy-JohnPhos (10 mol%) were used. bBenzyl 5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2 H)-carboxylate was obtained in 10%
