Abstract

1, 4-dihydropyridine-acetophenone enolate adduct, in catalytic amount effects Michael reactions in aqueous cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The enolate, generated by dissociation of the adduct abstracts a proton from readily enolizable substrates to bring about the Michael reaction under mild conditions in fair to good yields without side products.
