Usage

General Description

Benzoyl lactic acid is a compound that combines the properties of benzoyl peroxide and lactic acid. It is commonly used in skincare products as an effective treatment for acne. Benzoyl lactic acid works by exfoliating the skin and penetrating the pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, thus preventing and treating acne breakouts. It also has antibacterial properties that help to reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne. Additionally, benzoyl lactic acid can improve skin texture and tone, making it a popular ingredient in anti-acne and anti-aging skincare products.

Clay montmorillonite K10 catalyzed aldol-type reaction of aldehydes with silyl enol ethers in water

An environmentally friendly method for the cross aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers and ketene silyl acetal with various aldehydes using montmorillonite K10 is described. Cheap and commercially available montmorillonite K10 can be used without the need of an ion exchange process under solvent-free conditions or in water. Hydrate of aldehydes such as glyoxylic acid can be used directly. Thermal treatment of K10 increased the catalytic activity. The catalytic activity was supposed due to the properties of the structure of K10 and its inherent Bronsted acidity.
