One-Pot Synthesis of α-Substituted Acrylates

Abstract A simple and efficient synthetic method towards α-substituted acrylic esters has been developed using the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction with HCHO after alkylation of phosphonoacetates in a one-pot reaction. This method allows the smooth introduction of various side-chains, such as...
