Under supercritical CO2 conditions, simple adjustment of the pressure was found to successfully control the ratio of aldol to enal product in the self-aldol condensation of aldehyde, in which the enal product was obtained in a maximum selectivity of 94% at the critical pressure of 12MPa, whereas 85% selectivity to the aldol product was achieved at the subcritical region.

Indan and tetralin are widely used as fuel additives and the intermediates in the manufacture of thermal-stable jet fuel, many chemicals, medicines, and shockproof agents for rubber industry. Herein, we disclose a two-step route to selectively produce 5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene (abbreviated as methylindan) and tetralin with xylose or the hemicelluloses from agricultural or forestry waste. Firstly, cyclopentanone (CPO) was selectively formed with ~60% carbon yield by the direct hydrogenolysis of xylose or hemicelluloses on a non-noble bimetallic Cu-La/SBA-15 catalyst.

A novel and highly selective 5--- aldol condensation of 6-ketoaldehydes is presented using a proline-based alkylphosphonium ion catalyst. Bulky and oxophilic phosphonium ion plays a vital role in facilitating kinetic aldenamine formation and activating keto groups for aldol addition. This innovative approach exclusively targets five-membered carbo- and heterocyclic aldehydes, involving unusual aldehydes as donors and ketones as acceptors.

Previously, we reported a novel browning reaction of amino acids and proteins in an organic solvent mixture composed of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and acetone. The reaction proceeds under surprisingly mild conditions, requiring no heating or additional reactants or catalysts. This present study aimed to investigate the chemical reactivity of the triad reaction system of l-tryptophan/aectone/DMSO.

Biogenic amine organocatalysts have transformed the field of synthetic organic chemistry. Yet despite their use in synthesis and to label biomolecules in vitro, amine organocatalysis in vivo has received comparatively little attention - despite the potential of such reactions to be interfaced with living cells and to modify cellular metabolites. Herein we report that biogenic amines derived from L-tyrosine catalyze the self-aldol condensation of butanal to 2-ethylhexenal - a key intermediate in the production of the bulk chemical 2-ethylhexanol - in the presence of living Escherichia coli and outperform many amine organocatalysts currently used in synthetic organic chemistry.

Aldol reactions (self- and cross-aldol condensations) for conjugated enone synthesis were efficiently performed on large-sized Cs single sites (1 wt %) confined in β-zeolite channels in toluene, which showed the highest level of catalytic aldol condensation activity among reported zeolite catalysts. In general, aldol condensation reactions for C-C bond synthesis can proceed by acids (e.g.
