title: 1,4-addition of enolates to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones within a micro reactor.
abstract: We demonstrate the formation of a series of diketone enolates and their subsequent reaction with alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in order to prepare a variety of Michael adducts. In all cases, the conversions observed within a micro reactor were greater than those obtained in batch.
