21. Borodin is co-credited with the discovery of the Aldol reaction , with Charles-Adolphe Wurtz. 22. He has also developed novel methodology for organic synthesis such as a modification of the Evans aldol reaction . 23. I'm trying to figure out the name of this compound that results from an aldol reaction . 24. In 2002 the Macmillan group was the first to demonstrate the proline catalyzed Aldol reaction between different aldehydes. 25. A related popular catalyst scandium triflate is used in such reactions as aldol reactions and Diels-Alder reactions. 26. NOBIN is an excellent catalyst for the aldol reaction producing reliable products, good yields, and excellent diastereoselectivity. 27. Sometimes condensation with active methylene compounds could give products of " O "-nitroso-aldol reaction : 28. On the second aldol reaction , the product which is a 1, 3 dicarbonyl is formed in high diastereoselectivity. 29. The pre-existing chirality from the auxiliary is then transferred to the aldol adduct by performing a diastereoselective aldol reaction . 30. Five references are provided early on : two textbooks, a specialized monograph on aldol reactions , and two review articles.
