Carbinol derivatives via rhodium-catalyzed addition of potassium trifluoro(organo)borates to aldehydes
Mathieu Pucheault, Sylvain Darses and Jean-Pierre Genet
Reaction of potassium aryltrifluoroborates with aldehydes, in the presence of a rhodium catalyst, afforded carbinol derivatives in high yields under mild aqueous conditions; this efficient reaction proved to be general, allowing the production of highly hindered diarylmethanols and aliphatic aldehydes were also reactive under these conditions.
