Abstract
Hexamethylenetetramine (7, HMT) is a cheap alternative catalyst in the Baylis-Hillman reaction between aromatic aldehydes and methyl acrylate or acrylonitrile. The use of 0.1 equiv or 1.0 equiv of HMT proved to be an efficient catalyst for the preparation of 1,8a-c,h, 9a-c and 10 in good to high yieds. The Baylis-Hillman adducts 9c and 10 show high potency against P. falciparum in vitro (anti-malarial activity), and new compounds 9f,h,i are also efficiently prepared using our methodology.
