Abstract
A sequential allyl vinyl ether formation-Claisen rearrangement process catalyzed by a palladium(II)-phenanthroline complex provides a convenient approach to γ,δ-unsaturated aldehydes under mild conditions that avoid the use of toxic Hg(II) catalysts. The new methodology has been successfully demonstrated on kilogram scale.
