Rhodium-catalyzed reductive allylation of conjugated aldehydes with allyl acetate.
Reductive allylation of aryl and alkenyl aldehydes with allyl acetate catalyzed by the ionic diamine carbonyl rhodium complex, [Rh(TMEDA)(CO)(2)][RhCl(2)(CO)(2)], under a carbon monoxide atmosphere afforded the corresponding homoallylic alcohols in good isolated yields.
