Abstract
The amidinoethylation of alcohols by their Michael-type addition to propenamidines takes place without the need of a basic catalyst. The effect of the basicity of the amidine and the nature of the alcohol on the course of the reaction is discussed. The reaction is assumed to proceed by an SNi' mechanism.
