Abstract
Abstract We describe a comparative study between 4-( N , N -dimethylamino)-pyridine (DMAP), 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and imidazole as catalysts in the Baylis–Hillman reaction between methyl acrylate and acrylonitrile with aromatic aldehydes. These reactions were carried out in neat activated alkenes. A uncommon temperature effect in the reaction time was observed.
