The samarium diiodide promoted addition of α-halo-α,β-unsaturated esters to
carbonyl compounds led to (Z)-2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-2,3-alkenoates in
good yields and very high stereoselectivity. A mechanism is proposed to
explain this transformation.

Silica gel-DABCO catalyzed oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes with chloramine-T
followed by their Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction with acrylonitrile or methyl
acrylate gives good overall yields of the corresponding Morita-Baylis-Hillman
adducts. The present work opens up a new and efficient synthetic route to
Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts directly from alcohols in a one-pot operation.

Various
ketones as the electrophiles react in a one pot three-component coupling with an aluminum allenoate
intermediate derived from ethyl propiolate and alluminium iodide to yield β-iodo Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts with high
yield and excellent Z-stereoselectivity.

A nickel(0)-catalyzed coupling of α-olefins and isocyanates in the
presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand proceeds preferentially at the 2-position of
the olefin to provide α,β-unsaturated amides. N-tert-butyl amide products can be converted to the
corresponding primary amides under acidic conditions.

A dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) process constitutes a
reasonable alternative strategy to access versatile Baylis-Hillman derivatives
in highly enantiomerically enriched form. By using an oxygen nucleophile that
can become a hydroxyl group, the process constitutes a deracemization.
