The Rauhut–Currier reaction, also called the vinylogous Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction, is an organic reaction describing (in its original scope) the dimerization or isomerization of electron-deficient alkenes such as enones by action of an organophosphine of the type R3P.
The Rauhut–Currier reaction, also referred to as the vinylogous Morita–Baylis–Hillman transformation, is an organic chemical process that involves (in its original scope) the dimerization or rearrangement of electron-deficient alkenes like enones via the use of a phosphorus-based compound.
