Aldol Condensation - Chemistry LibreTexts
An aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in organic chemistry in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.
Aldol condensation - Wikipedia
An aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in organic chemistry in which two carbonyl moieties (of aldehydes or ketones) react to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone (an aldol reaction), and this is then followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.
Aldol Condensation - Mechanism, Crossed Aldol Condensation ...
Aldol condensation occurs in aldehydes having α-hydrogen with a dilute base to give β-hydroxy aldehydes called aldols. This reaction is most commonly known as aldol condensation. If the condensation reaction occurs between two different carbonyl compounds it is …

Aldol Condensation: Reaction, Mechanism, Types and Uses ...
2024年2月13日 · Aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in organic chemistry that involves the nucleophilic addition of a ketone enolate to an aldehyde, forming a β-hydroxy ketone or aldol (aldehyde + alcohol).
The Complete Mechanism of an Aldol Condensation
2016年6月9日 · Although aldol condensation is one of the most important organic reactions, capable of forming new C–C bonds, its mechanism has never been fully established. We now conclude that the rate-limiting step in the base-catalyzed aldol condensation of benzaldehydes with acetophenones, to produce chalcones, is the final loss of hydroxide and ...
Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, providing a good way to form carbon–carbon bonds. The Robinson annulation reaction sequence features an aldol condensation; theWieland‐Miescher ketone product is an important starting material for many organic syntheses.
