-Amidoaldehydes via oxazoline hydroformylationDavid S. Laitar, John W. Kramer, Bryan T. Whiting, Emil B. Lobkovsky and Geoffrey W. Coates
4-Substituted oxazolines, which are readily synthesized from naturally occurring
-amino acids, are converted efficiently and stereospecifically to
-amidoaldehydes in the presence of synthesis gas and catalytic dicobalt octacarbonyl.
