title: Lewis acid-promoted Baylis-Hillman-type reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated ethyl thioester with aldehydes without the use of a Lewis base.
abstract: The Baylis-Hillman-type reaction of alpha,Beta-ethyl thioacrylate with aldehydes has been achieved using diethylaluminium iodide as the promoter without the direct use of any Lewis bases. The reaction provides an effective access to various alpha-methylene-Beta-hydroxy thioesters.
