Abstract

For the first time, the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of N-sulfonated imines with methyl vinyl ketone was catalyzed by 5,11,17,23-tetrabutyl-25-(diphenylphosphinomethoxy)-26,27,28-­trihydroxycalix[4]arene (LB1), an air-stable, easily isolated and reusable catalyst. Great acceleration of the reaction was observed and the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts were produced in excellent yields within short reaction time.

Key words

calix[4]arene - organocatalyst - phosphine - reusable - aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman
