title: Domino hydroformylation/aldol condensation/hydrogenation catalysis: highly selective synthesis of ketones from olefins.
abstract: A general and highly chemo- and regioselective synthesis of ketones from olefins by domino hydroformylation/aldol condensation/hydrogenation reaction has been developed. A variety of olefins are efficiently converted into various ketones in good to excellent yields and regioselectivities in the presence of a specific rhodium phosphine/base-acid catalyst system.
