Poly(ethylene)glycol/AlCl<sub>3</sub> as a Green and Reusable System in the Synthesis of <i>α</i>,<i>α</i>’-bis(substituted-benzylidene) Cycloalkanones
Abstract
Aluminum chloride has been found to be a highly efficient catalyst for the aldol condensation of aldehydes and cycloketones in poly(ethylene)glycol 400 at room temperature. The reaction is very fast, clean and environmentally benign for the synthesis of a variety of α,α’-bis(substituted-benzylidene) cycloalkanones.
