title: Unprecedented reactivity in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction; intramolecular alpha-alkylation of enones using saturated alkyl halides.
abstract: sp3 Hybridized electrophiles, never before used in the organomediated Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, now facilitate the formation of five- and six-membered enone cycloalkylation products.
