Abstract

The reaction of formaldehyde and acet- aldehyde with trans-ROIr(CO)(PPh3)2(R = Me, i-Pr, n-Pr, t-Bu) leads to formation of esters ROC(O)R' (R' = H or Me) by formation of a carbon-oxygen bond between the alkoxide and the acyl from the aldehyde and to catalytic production of the ester R'CH2C(O)OR' in a Tischenko reaction.
