Abstract

Chiral imidazolines are used to generate enantioenriched Baylis-Hillman products in the reaction of electron-deficient aromatic aldehydes with acrylates or alkyl vinyl ketones. The reaction generates the products in moderate to very good yield and in moderate enantioselectivities. Reactions without solvent were found to be optimal for acrylates, while the corresponding reaction with ketones is best run in toluene.
