A convenient one-pot preparation of substituted hexahydro-4H-chromens via r
hodium catalysed tandem hydroformylation starting from 1,5-dienes is descri
bed. The multi-step procedure starts with a hydroformylation of one double
bond followed by carbonyl ene reaction, a second hydroformylation and enol
ether forming cyclisation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserv
