Lewis acid-promoted Baylis–Hillman-type reaction of α,β-unsaturated ethyl thioester with aldehydes without the use of a Lewis base

Abstract

The Baylis–Hillman-type reaction of α,β-ethyl thioacrylate with aldehydes has been achieved using diethylaluminium iodide as the promoter without the direct use of any Lewis bases. The reaction provides an effective access to various α-methylene-β-hydroxy thioesters.
