Claim:
A composition comprising a Michael reaction product of a primary amine and an acceptor, wherein the amine comprises one or more groups —NH 2 and is independently selected from the group consisting of aliphatic amines, alicyclic amines, and aromatic amines, and the acceptor is an activated α,β-unsaturated compound wherein X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of: —C(O)R, —CO 2 R, —C(O)NR 1 R 2 , —P(O)(OR 1 )(OR 2 ), —P(S)(OR 1 )(OR 2 ), —S(O 2 )R, —S(O)R, —S(O 2 )(OR), —S(O)(OR), —CN, —CF 3 , and NO 2 or X and Y together form a group selected from the group consisting of: wherein R, R 1 , and R 2 are alkyl or aryl having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 and R 4 are independently hydrogen or cyclic, acyclic, aromatic or aliphatic substituents with 1-10 carbon atoms, and m is 2 or 3.
