Abstract

Poly(N-vinylimidazole) effectively catalyzed Michael addition of 1H-1,2,4-triazole, 3,5-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, uracil, oxazolidin-2-one, and succinimide to but-3-en-2-one, cyclohex-2-en-1-one, methyl acrylate, and methyl vinyl sulfone in water at room temperature. The catalyst can readily be regenerated and repeatedly used at least five times without loss in activity, as shown in the reaction of 1H-1,2,4-triazole with but-3-en-2-one as an example.
