This tutorial explains the Michael addition, a key organic reaction between an alpha-beta unsaturated compound and an enolate. We explore the full reaction mechanism, which leads to the formation of 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds, such as diketones or esters. Understanding this addition reaction is essential for advanced organic synthesis.
