Michael Additions of Amines to Methyl Acrylates Promoted by Microwave Irradiation

A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the Michael addition ofamines to α,β-unsaturated esters under microwave irradiation. Under these conditions therewas a significant decrease in the reaction time, increases in the yields and increased purityof the products.
