Abstract

As a green alternative to classical homogeneous catalyst in toluene in closed vessels, the intermolecular hydroacylation of 1-alkenes with aldehydes by Rh (I) complex (Wilkinson catalyst) can be realized efficiently under solvent-free conditions. When coupled to microwave activation, it results in a serious improvement when compared to classical conditions.
