title: Michael additions of amines to methyl acrylates promoted by microwave irradiation.
abstract: A simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the Michael addition of amines to alpha,beta-unsaturated esters under microwave irradiation. Under these conditions there was a significant decrease in the reaction time, increases in the yields and increased purity of the products.
