Substrate directed diastereoselective hydroformylation of acyclic homomethallylic alcohols

Abstract

Diastereoselective hydroformylation of acyclic homomethallylic alcohols with the aid of a catalyst directing group is achieved and the stereochemical outcome of this reaction is rationalized by analysing the preferred substrate conformation in solution.
