Catalysts are used to make changes easier in the organic synthetic mechanism. Catalysts are involved in the process of chemical changes by reducing time and making it faster to get things done. Catalysts play a vital role in organic synthesis with a novel method for the synthesis of a terpenoid, Mikanecic acid diester. In this research we are using NaH to synthesis Baylis-Hillman adducts (alkyl-3-hydroxy-2-methylenepropanoates reacts with aldehyde with a variety of acrylates catalyzed in presence of TiCl4). Mikanecic acid diesters obtained from 1, 3-butadiene-2-carboxylate of (Diels-Alder type) self-dimerization occur in the presence of different catalysts. The yield which we obtained is in good ratio.
