Abstract

Aldehydes are versatile compounds in organic synthesis. Despite their intrinsic benefits, there are relatively few methods for their preparation. 1 A common approach to obtain aldehydes is in fact the oxidation of primary alcohols2 or the reduction of carboxylic acids and their derivatives. 3 This last transformation is particularly useful for the preparation of N- protected R-amino aldehydes4 that are valuable intermediates for the synthesis of ...
