Redox transformation of an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde to a carboxylic acid derivative by means of a combination of TMSCN and DBU was investigated. In addition to the wide use of the carboxylic acid derivatives provided by this reaction, temperature-dependent control of the kinetic or thermodynamic protonation pattern was found to selectively switch the stereochemistry of the acyl group in the product.
