TL;DR: In this paper, a facile one-pot synthesis of indolizine, benzofused indoline and pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoline derivatives from the Baylis-Hillman (B-H) bromides via an interesting strategy involving 1,5-cyclization of nitrogen ylides has been described.

TL;DR: Baylis-Hillman acetates were conveniently transformed into substituted indenone and piperidine-2,6-dione frameworks by treatment with (di)phenylacetonitrile followed by Friedel-Crafts cyclization or imide formation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Baylis-Hillman reaction was used to transform 3-hydroxy-2-methylenealkanenitriles into 4-aryl-3-methylidenepiperidine-2,6-diones in a simple one-pot multi-step process involving Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, partial hydrolysis, and cyclization.

TL;DR: In this article, a facile, convenient, and one-pot multi-step synthesis of substituted piperidin-2-ones from the Baylis-Hillman alcohols derived from various aldehydes and acrylonitrile, involving Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, reduction of an α, β-unsaturated nitrile moiety into the saturated amine-skeleton, followed by cyclization, in an operationally simple procedure, is described.

TL;DR: In this article , two different reaction pathways for the synthesis of β-aryl-γ-lactam and 2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline derivatives using β-nitrostyrenes were successfully demonstrated.
