The site of Michael addition of β-hetero atom substituted thiols (such as mercaptoethanol) to unsubstituted 2, 4-dienone and 2, 4, 6-trienones is at the terminal (ω) position. This site preference is transferred to the β site when the addition is accomplished using Ti+4 complexation. These β site addition products rapidly rearrange to the ω position on base treatment.
