The Baylis-Hillman reaction: one-pot facile synthesis of 2,4-functionalized 1,4-pentadienes.
The Baylis-Hillman coupling between activated alkenes and alkyl 2-(bromomethyl)prop-2-enoates in the presence of DABCO (or DBU) leading to the formation of 2,4-functionalized 1,4-pentadienes, has been described.
