Michael Addition


Recent Literature


The ionic liquid [bmIm]OH is a catalyst and a reaction medium for Michael additions. Although the addition to α,β-unsaturated ketones gives the monoaddition products, this ionic liquid always drives the reaction of open-chain 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with α,β-unsaturated esters and nitriles toward bis-addition.
