Lewis acid mediated Michael addition of non-aromatic multiple C-C bonds to α,β-unsaturated dicarbonyl compounds

Michael addition is widely used in organic synthesis, being one of the key methods for the formation of C-C and C-X bonds. This mini-review is focused on the addition reactions of non-activated and non-aro-matic multiple C-C bonds to alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarbonyl compounds and donor-acceptor cyclopropanes under activation of various Lewis acids.
