Abstract

Five‐membered metallacycles are typically reluctant to undergo endocyclic β‐hydrogen elimination. The rhodium‐catalyzed isomerization of 4‐pentenals into 3‐pentenals occurs through this elementary step and cleavage of two CH bonds, as supported by deuterium‐labeling studies. The reaction proceeds without decarbonylation, leads to trans olefins exclusively, and tolerates other olefins normally prone to isomerization. Endocyclic β‐hydrogen elimination can also be controlled in an enantiodivergent reaction on a racemic mixture.
