A convenient highly stereoselective synthesis of allyl amides from Baylis-Hillman adducts using Amberlyst-15 as a heterogeneous reusable catalyst
The Baylis-Hillman adducts have efficiently been converted into the corresponding allyl amides in stereoselective manner by heating in acetonitrile under reflux in the presence of Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst. The catalyst works under heterogeneous conditions and can be recycled. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
