With the reactions ystem [Rh(octanoate) 2 ] 2 and triethylamine, diols are produced in ah igh yields of up to 79 %w ith full conversion of intermediate aldehyde and no evidence of olefin hydrogenation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
