The carbon-carbon bond formation and the functional group transformations are the most
fundamental reactions for the construction of a molecular framework and hence represent a …

The agriculture and horticulture industries generate many by-products while processing
commodities, leading to significant environmental and societal dilemmas. Bioactive …

Conclusions The first part of this review clearly demonstrates the diversity and power of
asymmetric domino reactions based on the use of chiral auxiliaries in the field of synthetic …

Accurate calculations are presented on the mechanism of the MBH reaction, focusing on the
reaction between methyl acrylate and benzaldehyde, catalyzed by a tertiary amine. We …

Using reaction rate data collected in aprotic solvents, we have determined that the Baylis−
Hillman rate-determining step is second order in aldehyde and first order in DABCO and …

In homogeneous H2O/solvent medium, the reaction rate of aromatic aldehydes and
acrylonitrile or acrylate was greatly accelerated, which led to shorter reaction time, lower …

The first ab initio and DFT studies on the mechanism of the MBH reaction show that the rate-
limiting step involves an intramolecular proton transfer in the zwitterionic intermediate …

Reaction of chiral acryloylhydrazide 5 derived from novel auxiliary 4 with aldehydes in the
presence of DABCO affords practical levels (up to 98% de) of β-hydroxy-α-methylene …

The functionality-(CHdCH) nCO-is an important structural feature in many naturally occurring
compounds such as oxopolyenoic acids, lactones, and polyenamides. 1 Consequently …

Abstract Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reactions between conjugated nitroalkenes or
nitrodienes and various carbonyl compounds such as glyoxylate, trifluoropyruvate …
