Abstract

The rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular hydroacylation of alkenes with aldehydes is an atom-economical method for the synthesis of ketones. Here, we give a brief review on its development and we highlight recent advances in chelating strategies for the stabilization of acyl rhodium species by coordinative saturation.
