O-substituted alkyl aldehydes for rhodium-catalyzed intermolecular alkyne hydroacylation: the utility of methylthiomethyl ethers.
Combining α-methylthiomethyl (MTM) ether substituted aldehydes and 1-alkynes in the presence of [Rh(dppe)]ClO(4) results in efficient intermolecular alkyne hydroacylation to deliver α-O-MTM-substituted enone products. The product MTM ethers can be converted to the free hydroxyl group either in situ,...
