Abstract

An essential challenge for modern organic chemistry is the efficient and direct synthesis of important functional groups without the need for protection/deprotection steps, functional- group interconversions, and harsh reaction conditions. In this respect, α, β-unsaturated aldehydes constitute particularly interesting targets. On the one hand, they have found numerous applications as building blocks for the synthesis of various biologically active ...
