Figure 6. Crossed aldol condensation reaction, producing the a,ß-unsaturated ketone chalcone. Derivatives of the parent reactant molecules acetophenone and benzaldehyde can include a range of R, R 1 ...

Organic synthesis is based on carbon-carbon bond formation. Aldol condensation is one of the key reactions, forming a new β-hydroxy carbonyl compound through the reaction of two carbonyl compounds.

In developing chemical reactions for the controlled synthesis of large molecules and structures in cells, we focused on the condensation reaction between 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) and D-cysteine ...

This is a dehydration synthesis reaction (also known as a condensation reaction), and usually occurs between amino acids. The resulting CO-NH bond is called a peptide bond, and the resulting ...
