ortho-Mercaptobenzoic acid and ortho-mercaptophenols were discovered as efficient thiol catalysts of both the intramolecular Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) and Rauhut–Currier (RC) reaction. High reaction rates were achieved under mildly basic, aqueous conditions. The unprecedented catalytic activity of these protic nucleophiles could originate from a Brønsted acid induced destabilization of intermediate

Tri-n-Butyl phosphine was found to effect tandem Michael/Michael cyclisations leading to the formation of cyclopentenes and cyclohexenes in good yields, whilst p-TolSH in conjunction with a catalytic amount of p-TolSNa effected cyclisation to the corresponding cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes.

The utilization of enones as latent enolates enables regioselective enolate formation from chemically robust presursors. In this communication, we report a catalytic Michael cycloisomerization of bis(enones) under Morita-Baylis-Hillman conditions. Upon exposure to 10 mol % tributylphosphine, bis(enone) substrates afford both five- and six-membered ring products. Notably, unsymmetrical bis(enones) possessing sufficient steric or electronic bias yield single isomeric products.
