An efficient synthesis of phospha-Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts was carried out in good yields via the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction of the DABCO salts of MBH bromides. Instead of a DABCO salt, a phosphonium salt could be effectively used for some substrates which showed some problems in the presence of DABCO.
