  2. Aldol condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation

    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. The overall reaction equation is as follows (where the Rs can be H)

  3. Aldol reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_reaction

    The aldol reaction (aldol addition) is a reaction in organic chemistry that combines two carbonyl compounds (e.g. aldehydes or ketones) to form a new β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. Its simplest form might involve the nucleophilic addition of an enolized ketone to another: These products are known as aldols, from the ald ehyde + alcoh ol, a ...

  4. Proline-catalyzed aldol reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline-catalyzed_aldol...

    The Hajos–Parrish–Eder–Sauer–Wiechert and Barbas-List[1] reactions in organic chemistry are a family of proline -catalysed asymmetric aldol reactions. In the 1970s, two research groups discovered (and published) almost simultaneously their discoveries of two related intramolecular reactions: Zoltan Hajos and David Parrish at Hoffmann-La ...

  5. Perkin reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkin_reaction

    It gives an α,β-unsaturated aromatic acid or α-substituted β-aryl acrylic acid by the aldol condensation of an aromatic aldehyde and an acid anhydride, in the presence of an alkali salt of the acid. [1] [2] The alkali salt acts as a base catalyst, and other bases can be used instead. [3] The Perkin reaction. Several reviews have been ...

  6. Acid catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_catalysis

    In acid catalysis and base catalysis, a chemical reaction is catalyzed by an acid or a base. By Brønsted–Lowry acidbase theory, the acid is the proton (hydrogen ion, H +) donor and the base is the proton acceptor. Typical reactions catalyzed by proton transfer are esterifications and aldol reactions.

  7. Robinson annulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_annulation

    RXNO:0000380. The Robinson annulation is a chemical reaction used in organic chemistry for ring formation. It was discovered by Robert Robinson in 1935 as a method to create a six membered ring by forming three new carbon–carbon bonds. [1] The method uses a ketone and a methyl vinyl ketone to form an α,β-unsaturated ketone in a cyclohexane ...

  8. Claisen–Schmidt condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claisen–Schmidt_condensation

    Claisen–Schmidt condensation. In organic chemistry, the Claisen–Schmidt condensation is the reaction between an aldehyde or ketone having an α-hydrogen with an aromatic carbonyl compound lacking an α-hydrogen. It can be considered as a specific variation of the aldol condensation. This reaction is named after two of its pioneering ...

  9. Condensation reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation_reaction

    Condensation reaction. In organic chemistry, a condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two molecules are combined to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of a small molecule such as water. [1] If water is lost, the reaction is also known as a dehydration synthesis. However other molecules can also be lost, such as ...
