Effective carbon dioxide (CO2) capture requires solid, porous sorbents with chemically and thermally stable frameworks. Herein, we report two new carbon-carbon bonded porous networks that were synthesized through metal-free Knoevenagel nitrile-aldol condensation, namely the covalent organic polymer, COP-156 and 157. COP-156, due to high specific surface area (650 m2/g) and easily interchangeabl...

The enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 takes part in a catabolic pathway for aromatic hydrocarbons, where it catalyzes the conversion of 2hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate into 2-oxohexa-3-enedioate. This tautomerase can also promiscuously catalyze carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, including various types of aldol reactions, by using its amino-terminal proline...

Abstract The chlorinated natural products, rubrolides B, I, K, L, M and O analogues were synthesized in only five steps employing a robust divergent synthetic strategy. synthesis is performed without using protecting groups starting from key intermediate, which can be commercially available tetronic acid two steps. Selective halogenation vinylogous aldol condensation enable the efficient of hig...

Chalcones are the primary building blocks for flavonoids and isoflavonoids production. a three-carbon, -unsaturated carbonyl system. form when an aromatic aldehyde reacts with acetophenones in presence of catalyst. For synthesis these molecules, variety methods approaches have been reported. The Aldol condensation Claisen-Schmidt reactions most commonly referenced synthetic protocols literature...
