2005 Aldehyde derivatives Q 0340 A Practical and Mild Method for the Highly Selective Conversion of Terminal Alkenes into Aldehydes Through Epoxidation—Isomerization with Rutheni- um(IV)—Porphyrin Catalysts. — A ruthenium(IV)—porphyrin catalyst is used for the highly regioselective formation of aldehydes from terminal alkenes without C=C bond cleavage. The new method supplements the Wacker process for the oxidation of terminal alkenes to ketones or aldehydes. The reactions occur at room temperature to afford isolable β,γ-unsaturated aldehydes. — (CHEN, J.; CHE*, C.-M.; Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 43 (2004) 37, 4950-4954; Shanghai-Hong Kong Jt. Lab. Chem.
