Aliphatic aldehydes are important building blocks in organic synthesis due to their high reactivity and versatility. Here, we reported a simple, mild and efficient method for hydroformylation of allyl alcohol esters under cobalt catalysis. This research was distinguished by its good functional group tolerance, moderate to good yields and exclusive chemo- and regioselectivity, making this protocol an attractive way to prepare aldehyde products with linear selectivity.
