Abstract

N‐aryl acrylamides were found to be the more activated Michael acceptor forBaylis–Hillman reaction than acrylamides and N‐alkyl acrylamides. Treatment of N‐aryl acrylamides with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of DABCO (1,4‐diazabicyclo[2·2·2]octane) afforded the desired Baylis–Hillman products, α‐substituted acrylamide derivatives, which have important applications as novel radical polymerization monomers and biologically important reagents.
