Hydrogen-Bond-Promoted C-C Bond-Forming Reaction: Catalyst-Free Michael Addition Reactions in Ethanol

Abstract

A practical protocol for catalyst-free Michael addition reactions in ethanol was developed. The reaction was promoted efficiently in alcohol without any additives, and the importance of hydrogen-bonding activation was suggested.
