Abstract

An accelerated and efficient method for Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) reaction in aqueous cationic micellar solution under ambient conditions has been developed. The present method holds promise for future use of cyclic and acylic MBH-adducts of general utility in total synthesis of natural products in a robust fashion.
