Abstract
A facile triphenylphosphineβcatalyzed Michael addition of alcohols to acrylic compounds was described. The reaction was carried out in open air at refluxing temperature in the presence of 10 mol% PPh~3~. Michael addition of saturated and unsaturated alcohols to acrylonitrile or acrylates has been examined. The reaction gave Ξ²βalkoxy derivatives with isolated yields of 5%β79%. PPh~3~ is cheaper and more stable than those trialkylphosphines previously used for the similar reactions, and the products can be easily separated from the reaction mixture via distillation.
