The use of aryl acrylates in the Baylis-Hillman reaction is reported. In contrast to their alkyl counterparts these acrylates react very rapidly with aldehydes, often yielding cyclic products arising from reaction of the initial adduct with a second molecule of aldehyde.

It is shown that reaction of aryl, benzyl, alkyl and functionalised alkyl acrylic esters with benzaldehyde, in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] octane, strongly depends upon the electronic and steric effects of the ester part. This influence is also observed in condensation of furfuraldehyde. Moreover, for the first time, it is shown that the overall condensation is equilibrated.
