Abstract

Aliphatic aldehydes are important building blocks in organic synthesis due to their high reactivity and versatility. Herein, we report a simple, mild and efficient method for the hydroformylation of allyl alcohol esters under cobalt catalysis. This procedure offers good functional group tolerance, moderate to good product yields and exclusive chemo- and regioselectivity, making it an attractive method to prepare aldehydes with linear selectivity.
