The Baylis−Hillman reactions of cyclic enones with a variety of aldehydes were investigated. 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was found to be a viable catalyst in promoting the reactions of sterically retarded substrates in methanol. The reactions showed clear solvent dependence and only occurred in hydroxylic solvents, especially in methanol. Further consideration on the steric character of
