Abstract

Rhodium (I) complex catalysed hydroformylation of unsaturated silyl enol ethers leads to products of an intramolecular aldol addition in a one-pot procedure. Thus β, γ-or γ, δ- unsaturated silyl enol ethers undergo tandem hydroformylation/Mukaiyama aldol reaction to form cyclic O-silylated aldol adducts with high selectivity and good yields.
