Oxygenation of Simple Olefins through Selective Allylic C?C Bond Cleavage: A Direct Approach to Cinnamyl Aldehydes

A novel metal-free allylic C?C σ-bond cleavage of simple olefins to give valuable cinnamyl aldehydes is reported. 1,2-Aryl or alkyl migration through allylic C?C bond cleavage occurs in this transformation, which is assisted by an alkyl azide reagent. This method enables O-atom incorporation into simple unfunctionalized olefins to construct cinnamyl aldehydes. The reaction features simple hydrocarbon substrates, metal-free conditions, and high regio- and stereoselectivity.

Synthesis of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes based on a one-pot phase-switch dehydrogenative cross-coupling of primary alcohols

An efficient one-pot ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen-transfer strategy for a direct access to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes has been developed. The employment of enolates prepared in situ from alcohols avoided handling unstable aldehydes and provided a very appealing route to different cinnamaldehydes substituted in position 2. A silica-grafted amine was used as phase-switch tag leading to a selective one-pot process in favor of cross-dehydrogenative coupling products.

A new route to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes using the condensation of trimethylsilyl β-trimethylsilyl enol ethers with aldehydes

β-Trimethylsilyl enol ethers 1 (Z) obtained from β-bromoenolethers 2 were condensed with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic quantity of trimethylsilyl triflate leading to ethylenic aldehydes 3 (E) with good yields (79-90%).
