Interpretation:
For the given reaction, whether an efficient Michael reaction is expected or not has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Michael reaction is the reaction between a Michael donor which acts as a nucleophile and a Michael acceptor. Important condition for the Michael reaction to occur is the formation of stabilized nucleophile. 1,4-addition is known as Michael addition where the beta-keto compound acts as nucleophile. General scheme for Michael reaction can be given as,
Explanation of Solution
