Metal-catalysed hydroformylations efficiently convert feedstock alkenes into aldehydes, though typically relatively simple ones. Now, the palladium-catalysed fragmentation of acid chlorides followed by reassembly with alkynes and silanes has been shown to form valuable, highly substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes.
