Let us return here to Michael Lind s 1998 New York Times Magazine article, published barely one year after the initial resolution of the federal racial classification debates of the mid-1990s. In his meditation on the blending of the races in America, Lind writes, Shifting patterns of racial... 

The first Lewis acid-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition in water was developed by Kobayashi et al, who reported ee s up to 83%. Very recent developments show great promise for further improvement of Michael addition reactions in water. In an elegant study, Kaneda and coworkers used montmorillonite-enwrapped metal triflates to execute C—C bond forming Michael additions. When scandium triflate was employed, adducts were obtained in quantitative yield within a 0.5-3 h at or slightly above room temperature. The catalysts were reusable with no appreciable loss in activity.In another recent study, Lind-strdm and coworkers observed a remarkable ligand acceleration effect in aqueous ytterbium triflate-catalyzed Michael additions. A number of 1,2-diamines and 1,2-aminoalcohols were shown to have a positive influence on the rate of the reaction, the most efficient being tetramethylethylenediamine, which induced a nearly 20-fold rate acceleration.
