Rhodium-catalysed hydroacylation or reductive aldol reactions: a ligand dependent switch of reactivity.

The pathway for the combination of enones and beta-S-substituted aldehydes using Rh-catalysis can be switched between a hydroacylation reaction or a reductive aldol reaction by simple choice of the phosphine ligand; this catalyst controlled switch allows access to new ketone hydroacylation products;...
