103. To suppress decarbonylation in intermolecular rhodium catalyzed hydroacylation, aldehyde donors that possess an adjacent site of coordination are required (for example, salicyladehydes and β-sulfidoaldehydes). Alternatively, conventional aldehyde donors may be converted to the corresponding (N-2-pyridyl)aldimines, which are then used as aldehyde equivalents: (a) Vora, K. P.; Lochow, C. F.; Miller, R. G.
