title: A unique cascade reaction between 3-arylprop-2-inylcarboxylates and benzaldehydes leading to the formation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts.
abstract: During an alkyne-carbonyl metathesis reaction between electron-rich 3-arylprop-2-inylcarboxylates and electron-poor benzaldehydes, a smooth migration of carboxylate groups takes place. This unique cascade reaction allows the formation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts unavailable via a traditional MBH reaction.
