Herein we report the palladium-catalyzed isomerization of highly substituted allylic alcohols and alkenyl alcohols by means of a single catalytic system. The operationally simple reaction protocol is applicable to a broad range of substrates and displays a wide functional group tolerance, and the products are usually isolated in high chemical yield. Experimental and computational mechanistic investigations
Aliphatic aldehydes are among the most common structural units in organic and medicinal chemistry research. Direct C–H functionalization has enabled efficient and site-selective derivatization of aliphatic aldehydes.
