Michael reaction
Classical examples of the Michael reaction are the reaction between diethyl malonate (Michael donor) and diethyl fumarate (Michael acceptor), that of mesityl oxide and diethyl malonate, that of diethyl malonate and methyl crotonate, that of 2-nitropropane and methyl acrylate, that of "ethyl phenylcyanoacetate" and acrylonitrile and that of nitropropane and methyl vinyl ketone.
