Abstract
Aluminum iodide has been found to promote the efficient and highly stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-β-iodo-α-(hydroxyalkyl)acrylates via one-pot three-component coupling reactions. This new system has made it possible to utilize various ketones as the electrophiles, in order to react with an aluminum allenoate intermediate for the synthesis of β-iodo Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts with high yield and excellent Z-stereoselectivity (>99%).
