Et3N/H2O: A green and inexpensive organocatalytic medium for efficient Baylis-Hillman reaction

A new organocatalyzed method is developed for Baylis–Hillman reactions of cyclohex-2-enone with various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of water and catalytic quantities of triethylamine. All reactions take place at room temperature and relatively good yields of various products are obtained within a time frame which does not exceed 24 hours. The mild reaction conditions used in the present ...

The Baylis-Hillman reaction: a novel source of attraction, opportunities, and challenges in synthetic chemistry.

The Baylis-Hillman reaction is a successful, useful, and atom-economical carbon-carbon bond forming reaction, which has grown from an obscure level to the level of high synthetic popularity due to its operational simplicity and also due to the enormous applications of the Baylis-Hillman adducts in organic synthesis. In this tutorial review, we briefly describe the way this reaction has grown to...

Different Reaction Patterns in the Baylis-Hillman Reaction of Aryl Aldehydes with Phenyl Vinyl Ketone, Phenyl Acrylate and Phenyl Thioacrylate

In the Baylis-Hillman reaction of aryl aldehydes with phenyl vinyl ketone we have observed exclusive formation of diadducts 4, and that the yields of diadduct can reach 80% with increasing amounts of phenyl vinyl ketone. On the other hand, for phenyl acrylate and phenyl thioacrylate, only the normal Baylis-Hillman adduct was obtained. The effects of substituents were also examined and a plausib...
