Abstract A rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1,1-disubstituted allenes is reported. Using a RhI/6-DPPon catalyst system, one can obtain β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes in high regio- and chemoselectivity. The Z-configured product is formed with up to >95% selectivity when unsymmetrically 1,1-disubstituted allenes are submitted to the reaction conditions. This is the first time that these interesting building blocks are accessible by hydroformylation of allenes. The utility of this methodology is demonstrated by further transformations of one of the obtained products. β,γ-Unsaturated aldehydes are obtained by a rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1,1-disubstituted allenes. For unsymmetrically 1,1-disubstituted allenes the Z-configured product is formed in up to about 95% selectivity. This is the first time that these building blocks are accessible by hydroformylation of allenes. The utility of this methodology is demonstrated by further transformations of one of the obtained products.
