What a gas! Synthesis gas is the formylating agent in the efficient one‐step title transformation promoted by a palladium catalyst with the bidentate ligand 1,2‐bis(di‐1‐adamantylphosphinomethyl)benzene (see scheme). This method enables the conversion of six‐ to eight‐membered‐ring triflates into α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes and the introduction of a formyl group into derivatives of elaborate natural compounds. Tf=trifluoromethanesulfonyl.
