The palladium-catalyzed formylationof a wide variety of organic substrates (aryl iodides, benzyl halides, vinyl iodides, vinyl triflates, and allylic halides) with tin hydride and carbon monoxide gives good yields of aldehydes under mild conditions (50 C, 1-3atm of CO, and 2.5-3.5-h reaction times) and tolerates a number of functional groups. A competitive side reaction, the direct reduction of the halide or triflate, could be minimized by the slow addition of tributyltin hydrideand higher pressures of carbon monoxide. In general, electron-donating or-withdrawing substituents on the aryl halide have no effect on the formylation reaction; however, a p-nitro substituent causes significant reduction in the yield of aldehyde. Yields are diminished by steric hindrance about the electrophile. The formylation of uasymmetrical allyl halides is regioselective, taking place at the less substituted allylic position, with retention of geometry at the allylic double bond. Retention of the double bond geometry also is observed in the formylation of vinyl iodides.Although a variety of methods are available for the preparation of aldehydes from carboxylic acids and their derivatives, most involve metallic hydrides as reducing agents. 1 Hydrogen2 (Rosenmund reduction) or silicon hydrides, 3 in the presence of a palladium catalyst, have been successfully employedin reducing acid chlorides to aldehydes. The conversion of a number of organic halides into aldehydes has been accomplished by using carbon monoxide and hydrogen (1: 1, 1200-1500 psi) at 80-100 C. 4 Aryl halides can be formylated under lower carbon monoxide pressures when silicon hydrides are utilized as the hydride source. 5 These routes to aldehydes are not withouttheir disadvantages, however, since the scope of the reaction is somewhat limited. Other reducible functionality in the molecule cannot usually be tolerated, and overreduction of the aldehyde to the alcohol is often observed, theproduct alcohol often reacting further. Tributyltin hydride is a relatively mild metal hydride reducing reagent, which has been employed for the preparation of aldehydes. Although the uncatalyzed reduction of acid chlorides by tributyltin hydride yields a mixture of aldehydes and esters6 (from overre-duction of the aldehyde to alcohol), the introduction of a palladium catalyst directs the reduction nearly exclusively to the aldehyde. 7 The reaction occurs under mild conditions and in the presence of other reducible groups. However, this transformation is limited
