Another aldol reaction pathway, involving transmetalation of the rhodium enolate I″ with the alkenyl zirconium species III to generate the zirconium enolate, followed by the engagement of an aldehyde II for the subsequent aldol reaction, cannot be excluded at this time in this three-component reaction.
