Abstract The Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction was investigated using Nicholas cations as an electrophile The Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction is the reaction of activated alkenes at the alpha position with carbon electrophiles. Nicholas cations were used as the electrophile in an intermolecular Lewis-acid catalyzed MBH reaction. It was attempted to develop an intramolecular version of the MBH reaction with Nicholas cations as an electrophile using either Lewis acid or phosphine catalysis. A tandem Pauson-Khand/MBH reaction was also attempted.
