Mono- and bis-acrolein derivatives by reliable and efficient one-step methylenation of aldehyde precursors

A series of aldehydes carrying different functional groups was transformed directly into the a-methylene derivatives. Dialdehydes behaved comparably at both active sites. When keto aldehydes are involved, excellent levels of chemoselectivity are observed, with the ketone substructures exhibiting no...

Summary:A series of aldehydes carrying different functional groups was transformed directly into the a-methylene derivatives. Dialdehydes behaved comparably at both active sites. When keto aldehydes are involved, excellent levels of chemoselectivity are observed, with the ketone substructures exhibiting no sign of reactivity.
