Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) The reaction of masked 5-alkylidene-2- cyclopentenones with aldehydes catalyzed by tributylphosphine in the presence of phenol provided the corresponding Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts, which were subjected to flash vacuum pyrolysis to afford 5-alkylidene-2-(hydroxyalkyl)-2- cyclopentenones.
