Abstract

A variety of 2-(hydroxyalkyl)-2-propenoic esters 16a-g has been prepared in high yield by DABCO-catalyzed coupling of aldehydes 14a-g with methyl acrylate. The product esters 16a- g are useful building blocks in syntheses which undergo regioselective and 2-selective SN~'reactions with N-bromosuccinimide/dimethyl sulfide and
