Summary:Efficient syntheses of aldehydes and primary alcohols from terminal olefins are critical to the chemical laboratory and industry. Heavy emphasis has been placed on regioselective olefin functionalization in recent decades. This perspective mainly focuses on advances in the Wacker-type oxidation and tandem hydration of terminal olefins with anti-Markovnikov selectivity. Methods to carry out anti-Markovnikov olefin oxidation and hydration producing aldehydes and linear alcohols, respectively, are described in this review.

Jiayi Guo received her Ph.D in 2013 from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Her thesis focused on the synthesis and characterization of bis-phosphorus stabilized metal complexes. In April 2013, she joined the group of Assistant Professor Peili Teo at the National University of Singapore, as a postdoctoral fellow. Her current research is focused on olefin functionalization

Grubbs at California Institute of Technology where she worked on Z-selective olefin metathesis catalysts and anti-Markovnikov olefi oxidation and hydration. Returning to Singapore in 2012, Peili began her independent research career as a scientist at the Institute of Chemical & Engineering Sciences, A*STAR, and as an assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore.
