(Diphenylmethylene)amine cleanly reacts with a variety of α,β-unsaturated esters, nitriles, ketones, and aldehydes 1a-q to give Michael type adducts 2a-q, generally, in respectable to excellent yields.Sterically congested and donor-substituted Michael acceptors do not react.The β-amino-substituted products can be further transformed in their protected form, or selectively deprotected under mild conditions, e.g. by catalytic hydrogenation.
