Figure 6. Crossed aldol condensation reaction, producing the a,ß-unsaturated ketone chalcone. Derivatives of the parent reactant molecules acetophenone and benzaldehyde can include a range of R, R 1 ...

In aldol condensations, ... Bifunctional Catalysis: A catalytic approach that utilises two complementary active sites, typically acidic and basic, to simultaneously activate different substrates.

This article presents the results of an experiment involving aldol condensation reaction to gain insights into the characteristics of carbon-carbon bond formations and carbonyl chemistry. This ...
