JAYANTA SAHA MSc Asymmetric Michael Additions: Advancements in Organocatalysis
Arthur Michael “ the way how this combination (of malonate ester with unsaturated acid ester) resulted was clearly known by Mr. Claisen and correctly described. Mr. Michael contributed to make the reaction remarkably practical by the use of sodium compounds of malonate and acetoacetate esters and to have substantially generalized .”- Ernst Von Meyer
