Abstract

1 elective, and regiospecific in some instances, with steric effects playing a role in this reaction. For example, branched-chain aldehydes were obtained as the predominant or only producb when monosubstituted styrenes were used as reactants, while terminal aldehydes were favored when bulky alkyl substituents were attached to the double bond (eg, 3, 3- dimethyl-l-hexene) or when the olefin was a 1, l-disubstituted one.'One can also realize ...
