Self-aldol condensation of an unmodified aldehyde has been effected by N-methyl-3-aminopropylated silica as a catalyst in ionic liquid, [bmim]PF6, to give an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde (enal). Aldehydes having acid or base sensitive substituents provided desired enals in satisfactory yields. The reaction system has been efficiently recycled more than eight times.

A new sythesis of natural vitamin E (2R,4'R,8'R)-α-tocopherol) based on (R)-citronellal and (S)-(6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-yl)acetic acid is described.The citronellal is elaborated into an optically pure C13 allylic carbonate using a lipase catalyzed kinetic resolution to control the new chiral center.Palladium catalyzed coupling of the C13 carbonate with either a β-ketoester or β-ketosulphone derived from the chromanylacetic completes the assembly of the α-tocopherol skeleton.Appropriate functional group modifications are used to complete the synthesis.
