The Tishchenko Reaction is a disproportionation reaction that allows the preparation of esters from two equivalents of an aldehyde.
This species undergoes an intramolecular 1,3-hydride shift that results in the production of the aluminium-coordinated ester.
A potential side reaction is the involvement of one of the alkoxide groups from the catalyst:
This can be minimised, if the reaction is conducted at low temperatures and low catalyst loadings.
