Hi all,

I am wondering whether I can do Michael addition in water.
Since I have alkene-silane solution (50% in water), and I want to
do Michael addition to react with amine terminated polymer.

Do you guys think it is OK to do Michael addition in water?


thanks

Water should be absolutely no problem unless your reactants are stable in water. The Michael reaction itself is not affected by the presence of water.
