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.

Triphenylphosphine and tributylphosphine are excellent catalysts for Michael
additions of β-dicarbonyl compounds to electron-poor olefins, including
sterically demanding partners.

An intermolecular Michael addition of simple aldehydes to nonactivated
enones with high enantioselectivities is catalyzed by 5 mol-%
diphenylprolinol methyl ether.

Highly enantioselective and effective Michael addition of diethyl malonate
to various chalcone derivatives has been achieved under mild phase-transfer
conditions using a chiral quaternary ammonium bromide as a catalyst.
