| The Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction is a three component reaction in which Michael acceptors are coupled at the alpha-position to electrophilic carbonyl compounds under the influence of a nucleophilic catalyst. Herein, we have extended this method to include intramolecular examples bearing electrophilic allylic leaving groups which provide a facile, high yielding straightforward synthesis of densely functionalized cyclic molecules. |
