Abstract
An intermolecular Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction of α,β-unsaturated ketones with allylic acetates under the catalysis of 10 mol % of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) and mediation of tributylphosphine has been developed in the presence of acetic acid, affording the desired α-coupling products. The MBH reaction has the advantages of good tolerance to many functional groups, excellent regioselectivity and E-stereoselectivity, and moderate to good yields.
