Feb 2013

Different l-proline derivatives were investigated as organocatalysts for the aldol condensation reaction between acetone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, in a conventional organic solvent (DMSO), in supercritical carbon dioxide, and in mixtures of this solvent and 1-Allyl-3-Alkyllimidazolium chlorides ionic liquids. The catalysts evaluated were: (S)-pyrrol...
