Abstract The Guerbet reaction is a possible way for transformation of ethanol to 1-butanol (important many kinds industries), which consists four steps: dehydrogenation, aldol condensation, dehydration, and hydrogenation. Due the elimination side-reactions, selective catalysis required favour production at temperature below 350 °C. main aim this work was via heterogeneous using active Mg–Al mix...

In the present study, a hollow MgO/SiO2 nanocatalyst with high alkaline properties was prepared. This heterogeneous catalyst prepared in several steps to create great active area and decrease density of catalyst. The framework applied for reaction cyclohexanone, malononitrile benzaldehyde synthesis 1 H-isocromene therough Michael addition aldol condensation at room temperature. this method, all...

Effective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture requires solid, porous sorbents with chemically and thermally stable frameworks. Herein, we report two new carbon-carbon bonded porous networks that were synthesized through metal-free Knoevenagel nitrile-aldol condensation, namely the covalent organic polymer, COP-156 and 157. COP-156, due to high specific surface area (650 m2/g) and easily interchangeabl...

The enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 takes part in a catabolic pathway for aromatic hydrocarbons, where it catalyzes the conversion of 2hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate into 2-oxohexa-3-enedioate. This tautomerase can also promiscuously catalyze carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, including various types of aldol reactions, by using its amino-terminal proline...
