Aldol Reaction (Condensation)
R. Kane, Ann. Phys. Chem., Ser. 2, 44, 475 (1838); idem, J. Prakt. Chem. 15, 129 (1838).
Traditionally, it is the acid- or base-catalyzed condensation of one carbonyl compound with the enolate/enol of another, which may or may not be the same, to generate a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound—an aldol. The method is compromised by self-condensation, polycondensation, generation of regioisomeric enols/enolates, and dehydration of the aldol followed by Michael addition, q.v. The development of methods for the preparation and use of preformed enolates or enol derivatives, that dictate specific carbon-carbon bond formation, have revolutionized the coupling of carbonyl compounds:
