In a simplest way define Michael reaction in synthesis

Chemistry

ScanSolve AI Answer

The Michael reaction is a type of conjugate addition reaction used in organic synthesis to form new carbon-carbon bonds. It involves an electron-rich molecule (a nucleophile, often a carbanion) adding to the β\beta-carbon of an electron-poor molecule (a Michael acceptor, which is an α,β\alpha, \beta-unsaturated carbonyl compound). This process effectively joins two smaller molecules into a larger one.
