Question

Michael addition is conjugate addition i.e., 14 addition. The substrates of the reaction that are involved are the compounds like α,βunsaturated carbonyl compounds, esters, cyanides, quinones and α,βunsaturated nitro compounds. The reagent must have at least one acidic hydrogen and must be converted into electrophile in the presence of bases like OH,OR, secondary amine etc.
In the following reaction, the product formed is: CH2=CHO||CCH3+CH3CH2NO2[(CH3)2CH]2NH−−−−−−−−−CHCl3

A
CH2=CHC|=CH3CHCH2NO2

Solution

The correct option is C CH3C|HNO2CH2CH2C||OCH3
In Michael addition reaction, the alpha hydrogen of nitro ethane is removed by the base. The alpha carbon acts as a nucleophile and attacks C-4 carbon of but-3-enone.
1,4 addition gives 5-nitro hexan-2-one as the product. The mechanism is as shown below. Here, B is the base.
