A Case Study of the Mechanism of Alcohol-Mediated Morita Baylis–Hillman Reactions. The Importance of Experimental Observations

TL;DR: A combination of mechanistic probes is used to define the mechanism and an experimental mechanistic free-energy profile for a prototypical Morita Baylis–Hillman reaction in methanol, and the ability of computations to predict the mechanism is critically evaluated.

Efficient Baylis--Hillman reaction using stoichiometric base catalyst and an aqueous medium.

TL;DR: Deuterium-exchange experiments suggest that the Michael addition adduct formed between DABCO and methyl acrylate is the active intermediate for the Baylis--Hillman reaction in aqueous conditions, and its hydrolysis, a nonproductive side reaction facilitated by the quaternary ammonium ion.
