8) Shown below are reagents for a Michael addition reaction: i) Draw the expected conjugate addition product to the right of the arrow. ii) Explain why cyclohexene would not participate in this reaction with diethyl malonate: iii) Draw another alkene, containing a different functional group from the example above, that would be a good electrophile in a Michael addition:
Expert Answer
i) the product of a given reaction can be drawn as follows-Here diethyl malonate is deprotonated by sodium methoxide(base) to form enolate. Then this enolate reacts with alkene to form adduct.
