Hydroformylation reaction of alkylidenecyclopropane derivatives: a new pathway for the formation of acyclic aldehydes containing quaternary stereogenic carbons.
The rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation reaction of methylene- and alkylidenecyclopropane derivatives proceeds under mild conditions to lead to the exclusive formation of linear aldehydes and the stereointegrity of the quaternary carbon center remains unaffected in the process.
