We have found that in the Baylis-Hillman reactions of N-arylidenediphenylphosphinamides 1 with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), methyl acrylate or acrylonitrile, the Lewis base and solvent can significantly affect the reaction rate. Using PPh 3 as Lewis base in the reaction of 1 with MVK in DMF, THF or MeCN, the normal Baylis-Hillman adduct 2 was formed in very high yield. In the Baylis-Hillman reaction of 1 with methyl acrylate, the Lewis base Ph 2 PMe must be used in order to get a high yield of the Baylis-Hillman adduct 3. On the other hand, for the reaction of N-arylidenediphenylphosphinamides 1 with acrylonitrile, DABCO is the best Lewis base giving the corresponding Baylis-Hillman adducts 4 in high yields.
