The hallmark of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis is the initial nucleophilic addition of a
phosphine to an electrophilic starting material, producing a reactive zwitterionic …

We report a phosphine‐catalyzed ring opening of electron‐deficient
alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) to generate allylic phosphonium zwitterions that resemble …

A type of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates has been developed from ninhydrin.
These MBH carbonates have been successfully employed as 3C-synthons in the …

We report a phosphine‐catalyzed activation of electron‐deficient vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs)
to generate an ambident C5 synthon that is poised to undergo consecutive reactions. The …

A phosphine-catalyzed cascade annulation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates and
diazenes was achieved, giving tetrahydropyrazole-fused heterocycles bearing two five …

Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts has become an efficient synthon for the construction of CC or
C-heteroatom bonds, and has been widely used in the asymmetric synthesis of various new …

A series of γ-substituted Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates were synthesized and
subjected to phosphine-catalyzed annulations with electrophilic exocyclic alkenes, giving …

Abstract Phosphine‐catalyzed (4+ 2) annulation of the acidic hydrogen‐tethered allylic
carbonates with electron‐deficient alkenes was achieved. Various electron‐deficient …

Herein, a new strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral N-aryl succinimides
was devised by [3+ 2] annulation of MBH carbonates and N-aryl maleimides under chiral …

A phosphine-catalyzed [3+ 3] cyclization strategy between para-quinamines and HCHO
Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates was discovered, delivering a series of highly …
