In this paper Li and co-workers have clearly mentioned that the electron-withdrawing group is necessary on the aromatic ring for obtaining modest yields and a better reaction rate in the titanium tetrachloride mediated Baylis-Hillman reaction between aromatic aldehydes and cyclic enones and they employed 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde as electrophiles in this reaction.

32. 1H NMR data (particularly the chemical shifts of benzylic and/or olefinic protons) of Baylis-Hillman and aldol compounds obtained from cyclohex-2-enone and aromatic aldehydes were reported in the literature.

34. 8,11 it may not be possible to confirm the complete absence of syn-aldol product because of the possibility of the doublet (or dd in case benzylic-H couples with the OH proton) hidden in this multiplet. Because the intensity of this multiplet itself (at δ 5.42-5.52) is much lower than that of singlet at δ 5.56, the syn-aldol product, even if formed, might be in much smaller amounts in comparison with that of the Baylis-Hillman adduct. These observations might, therefore, suggest that aldehydes undergo preferentially the Baylis-Hillman reaction.
35. It is worth mentioning here the work of Zaidlewich and co-workers, who reported an interesting enolization-aldolization of cyclohex-2-enone derivatives via dienolborinates. During their studies they also observed the formation of Baylis-Hillman adducts in minor amounts in the case of dienolborinates derived from hindered cyclo-hexenones (3,4,5-trisubstituted cyclohexenone derivatives) along with major aldol adducts; see: Zaidlewicz, M.; Sokol, W.; Wojtczak, A.; Neumann, P.; Nissinen, M.
