Direct Oxidation of β-Aryl Substituted Aldehydes to α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes Promoted by an o-Anisidine—Pd(OAc)2 Co-catalyst. — The use of o-anisidine in place of (S)-diphenylprolinol makes the process simpler and more cost-effective. Moreover, the protocol which is effective for aldehydes is complementary to that of the classical Saegusa reaction with ketone-derived silyl enone ethers. — (LIU, J.; ZHU, J.; JIANG, H.; WANG*, W.; LI, J.; Chem.
