Abstract

2-Bromomethyl-3-aryl-2-propenoic acids have been synthesized from Baylis–Hillman adducts derived from aromatic aldehydes and t-butyl acrylates as new precursors in MBH chemistry. Further triolides were synthesized by the cyclo-oligomerization of 2-bromomethyl-3-aryl-2-propenoic acids in the presence of Cs2CO3 demonstrating the synthetic utility of these motifs.
