Microwave assisted green synthesis of α, ά- bis (substituted- benzylidene) alkanones by the crossed- aldol condensation reaction of substituted aryl aldehydes with ketones in the presence of catalytic amount of NbCl5 in good to excellent yields. This reaction is carried out under solvent-free conditions. The results showed that aldehydes bearing electron–donating substituent's on phenyl-ring fa...

High oxidation-state carbonyl coupling partners including esters and lactones were reacted with enones to give aldol-type products directly using two-fold organoborane catalysis. This new retrosynthetic disconnection is compatible enolisable partners, without self-condensation, couples the high reactivity of secondary dialkylboranes stability pinacolboronic esters. Excellent chemoselectivity, s...

Five quaternary ammonium ionic liquid (IL) and two tetrabutylphosphonium ILs were prepared and characterized. An environmentally benign and convenient functionalized ionic liquid catalytic system was thus explored in the aldol condensation reactions of aromatic aldehydes with acetone. The aldol reactions proceeded more efficiently through microwave-assisted heating than through conventional the...

Divergent synthesis of indoles, oxindoles, isocoumarins and isoquinolinones is described in this report by using a general Pd-catalyzed tandem reaction of β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds with aryl halides bearing an ortho-nitro, -ester or -cyano substituent. A key retro-aldol/α-arylation reaction is involved that merges classic Pd cross-coupling chemistry with novel Pd-promoted retro-aldol C-C act...

Heterogeneous zeolite/zeotype catalysts are attractive for converting renewable biomass-derived chemicals into transportation fuels by aldol condensation reactions, which provide a simple strategy to improve carbon numbers. Herein, Zr-doped aluminum phosphate (ZrAPO-5) were applied efficient syntheses of diesel and jet fuel range C11, C12 C16 intermediates from furfural (FF) cyclohexanone (CH)....

Eleven new 2-styrylbenzothiazole-N-oxides have been prepared by aldol - type condensation reactions between 2-methylbenzothiazole-N-oxide and para-substituted benzaldehydes. Compounds with cyclic amino substituents showed typical push-pull molecule properties. Four compounds were tested against various bacterial strains as well as the protozoan Euglena gracilis as model microorganisms. Unlike p...

The title compound, C(14)H(17)NO(2)S(2), was synthesized by asymmetric aldol condensation of N-acyl-thia-zolidinethione with acetaldehyde. In the mol-ecule, the thia-zolidine five-membered ring assumes an envelope conformation. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O and intra-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonding helps to stabilize the structure.
