57. The same result (recovery of the starting materials) was also obtained when this reaction was performed in the presence of the allylic alcohol. This strongly suggests that, at the enol level, the competition between the two reaction pathways (isomerization or aldolization) is very sensitive to the reaction conditions. The transition-metal-mediated reaction involves a slow generation of the reactive intermediates, in the presence of a very large excess of the allylic alcohol and the aldehydes, and this is probably an important issue for the success of this tandem reaction.
