It was demonstrated that 3-olefinic oxindoles could generate zwitterionic enolate species
with tertiary phosphines and undergo C–C bond formation with various electrophiles in an …

A straightforward and general metal-free method has been developed to add sufinamide-
derived sulfone units on Michael acceptors under mild conditions. This reaction enables the …

Use of acrylamide as an activated alkene in largely recognized Morita Baylis Hillman (MBH)
reaction has been least explored owing to less reactivity of acrylamide as Michael acceptor …

A highly enantioselective organocatalytic Mukaiyama–Michael reaction of silyloxy dienes
and α, β-unsaturated acyl phosphonates under bifunctional organocatalysis is presented …

A proline-mediated Baylis–Hillman reaction of methyl vinyl ketone with aromatic aldehydes
has been carried out without using any co-catalyst, under solvent-free conditions. The …

An expedient and stereoselective synthesis of functionalized trisubstituted allylic boronates
via direct borylation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman alcohols is disclosed. The reaction proceeds …

A reaction involving the use of acetylacetone/methyl acetoacetate and Morita–Baylis–
Hillman acetates for the efficient, one‐pot, metal‐free synthesis of 9, 10‐dihydroacridines at …

The first example of phosphine-catalyzed α-umpolung addition of nucleophiles to allenoates
is described, which features the use of δ-acetoxy allenoate to generate a 3-phosphonium-2 …

1H NMR-based kinetic studies have revealed the latent mechanistic complexity of
deceptively simple hydrochloric acid-catalyzed reactions of salicylaldehyde-derived Baylis …
