Organomediated Morita-Baylis-Hillman cyclization reactions.
We have developed the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction to include, for the first time in a completely organomediated process, intramolecular examples bearing allylic leaving groups as the electrophilic partner providing a facile, high yielding, straightforward synthesis of densely functionalized cyclic molecules.
