Summary
Aldol Condensation
is a
Fundamental organic reaction
where
Enolate Ions
react with
Carbonyl compounds
to form
Β-hydroxy Aldehydes
or ketones, which can further dehydrate to form α,β-unsaturated
Carbonyl compounds
. This reaction is pivotal in
Synthesizing complex molecules
, including
Natural Products
and pharmaceuticals, by forming
Carbon-carbon bonds
.
