A palladium-catalyzed stereospecific alkylation of allylamines with primary and secondary alkyl iodides is described. Isoquinoline-1-carboxamide (IQA) acts as directing group to generate multisubstituted olefin products in cis configuration in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that alkenyl C–H bond activation is the rate-determining step.
