Conjugate additions of non-nucleophilic N-containing compounds such as amides, thioamides, sulfonamides, and electron-poor anilines with different Michael acceptors can be promoted through the use of tributylphosphine. The range of useful p K a's of nucleophiles has been established (p K a<25) and new insights into the mechanism proposed.
