One-Pot Lewis Acid Mediated Water-Promoted Transformation of Styrenes to α‑Substituted Conjugated Enals

We report herein an unusual one-pot preparation of α-benzyl-substituted conjugated enals via ZnCl2/LiCl/H2O-mediated transformation of styrenes. On the basis of experimental and computational studies, an underlying mechanism including electrophilic addition and hydride transfer with iminium cations...
