Abstract
Under catalysis by ruthenium trichloride in the presence of carbon monoxide, water, and triethylamine, a wide range of aromatic, olefinic, and aliphatic aldehydes are efficiently allylated with allyl acetate under mild conditions. The stoichiometric byproducts of this reaction are carbon dioxide and acetic acid.
