Abstract:
Significant progress in the development of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction has been made in the past decade. Many new variations of the MBH reaction have been well exploited, affording unexpected products and novel cyclized adducts in some cases, known as "abnormal MBH reactions". The formation of abnormal MBH adducts depends on the nature of the substrates and the employed catalytic system. This article will summarize recent advances in and mechanistic insights into such "abnormal" MBH reactions, including double-MBH reactions, sila-MBH reactions, abnormal aza-MBH reactions and tandem MBH pathways.

Regioselectivity of Electrophilic Additions to Alkenes: Markovnikov's Rule
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
