摘要
Commercially available lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH center dot H2O) was found to be a novel 'dual activation' catalyst for tandem cross-aldol condensation between cyclic/acyclic ketones and aromatic/heteroaromatic/styryl/alkyl aldehydes leading to an efficient and easy synthesis of alpha,alpha '-bis(aryl/alkylmethylidene)ketones at r.t. in short times. The reaction of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl and alkyl aldehydes with acyclic and five/six-membered cyclic ketones afforded excellent yields after 2 min to 1.25 h. The reaction conditions were compatible with various electron withdrawing and electron donating substituents, e.g. Cl, F, NO2, OMe and NMe2. The rate of the cross-aldol condensation was influenced by the nature of the ketone and electronic and steric factors associated with the aldehyde. The reaction took place at a faster rate for acyclic ketone (e.g., acetone) than that for cyclic ketone (e.g., cyclohexanone). In case of cycloalkanones, the rate of the reaction was dependent on the size of the ring of the cycloalkanone. The cross-aldol condensation of cyclopentanone was faster than that of cyclohexanone for a common aldehyde. In case of reactions involving aliphatic aldehyde having a-hydrogen atom no self-aldol condensation of the aldehyde took place. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
