Abstract
Also known as Morita—Baylis—Hillman reaction, and occasionally known as Rauhut—Currier reaction. It is a carbon-carbon bond-forming transformation of an electron-poor alkene with a carbon nucleophile. Electron-poor alkenes include acrylic esters, acrylonitriles, vinyl ketones, vinyl sulfones, and acroleins. On the other hand, carbon nucleophiles may be aldehydes, α-alkoxycarbonyl ketones, aldimines, and Michael acceptors.
