Hydroformylation of Protected Propargylic Alcohols

Abstract
A rhodium catalyst modified with a self-assembling pyridone-based phosphine ligand enables a chemoselective hydroformylation of protected propargylic alcohols to furnish either 4-siloxy enals or protected 4-hydroxy aldehydes depending on the reaction conditions.
