The Rh(I)-catalyzed isomerization of prochiral allylic amines to optically active enamines is used for the giant-scale synthesis of citronellal, citronellol, menthol, and other fragrances (18)(Chapter 3). 7-Meth-oxydihydrocitronellal, thus prepared, is an insect growth regulator. All of these processes can be carried out economically and with extremely high optical yields.
