Abstract
Abstract An expedient controlled synthesis of 1-vinylnaphthalenes and various dienyne derivatives has been carried out from the Morita–Baylis–Hillman bromides and propargyl acetate or p -nitrophenyl propargyl ether. By judicious choice of base, reaction temperature, and leaving group, a selective synthesis of 1-vinylnaphthalenes and dienynes, ( E )-α-(1,3-enyn-4-yl)-α,β-unsaturated esters, could be performed.
