ALDOL CONDENSATION REACTIONS OF 2-OCTANONE ON BASIC SOLID CATALYST

摘要

Aldol Condensation is an example of electrophilic substitution at the alpha carbon in enols or enolate anions. It is a useful carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction [1]. The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to get dimeric ketones from 2-octanone. Aldol condensation of 2-octanone on basic catalysts form 8 kinds of dimeric ketones. Through hydrogenation, can get simplex advanced alcohol, it’s used extensively in the perfumery and soap industries.
