Designed transition metal complexes predominantly catalyze Michael addition reactions. Inorganic and organic base-catalyzed Michael addition reactions have been reported. However, known base-catalyzed reactions suffer from the requirement of solvents, additives, high pressure and also side-reactions. Herein, we demonstrate a mild and environmentally friendly strategy of readily available KOtBu-catalyzed Michael addition reactions. This simple inorganic base efficiently catalyzes the Michael addition of underexplored acrylonitriles, esters and amides with (oxa-, aza-, and thia-) heteroatom nucleophiles. This catalytic process proceeds under solvent-free conditions and at room temperature. Notably, this protocol offers an easy operational procedure, broad substrate scope with excellent selectivity, reaction scalability and excellent TON (>9900). Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction follows an ionic mechanism. Formal synthesis of promazine is demonstrated using this catalytic protocol.

In this study, we have employed dithiooxamide, a solid, odorless, and commercially available compound, as a sulfur surrogate for the preparation of dialkyl sulfides from available alkyl halides in high yields. This sulfur transfer agent was also used for a copper-catalyzed high-yielding preparation of diaryl sulfides from their available aryl halides and for the preparation of thia-Michael adducts in high yields. All the reactions were performed under odorless conditions in wet PEG200 (PEG = polyethylene glycol), which is an eco-friendly, safe, and recoverable solvent. The protocols were easily applicable to large-scale operation.
