✦ Synopsis


The Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH)-type reaction of a,b unsaturated d-lactone with various aldehydes has been achieved without the direct use of a Lewis base. The new MBH process can be conveniently carried out by the slow addition of the diethylaluminum iodide into the solution of lactone and aldehyde in dichloromethane at 0°C. Modest to good yields were obtained (50-65%) for eight examples.
