Cl. Kranemann et al., Hydroformylation of 1,4-diolefins in the presence of primary amines leading to heterocyclic compounds, TETRAHEDRON, 55(15), 1999, pp. 4721-4732
The Rh(I)-catalysed hydroformylation of dienes in the presence of amines is
applied to heterocyclic ring synthesis. Starting from 1,4-dienes pyrroles
or eight-membered heterocycles are easily accessible. The selectivity of th
e reaction is controlled by the substitution pattern of the diolefin. (C) 1
