Abstract A convenient method for Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of arylaldehydes with methyl acrylate has been developed by using fluorous-tag organocatalyst l-[4- (perfluorooctyl)phenyll-3-phenylthiourea and DABCO at room temperature. The fluorous organocatalyst could be recovered from the reaction mixture by fluorous solid-phase extraction (F-SPE) with excellent purity for direct reuse.
