Exploring Small Bite-Angle Ligands for the Rhodium-Catalyzed Intermolecular Hydroacylation of beta-S-Substituted Aldehydes with 1-Octene and 1-Octyne

A comparative study of seven crystallographically characterized rhodium precatalysts, which contain a variety of chelating diphosphine ligands, for the hydroacylation of 1-octyne or 1-octene with 2-(methylthio)benzaldehyde has been undertaken. These studies show that the best performing catalyst for...
