General description

Direct aldol reaction of chloroacetone with of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde catalyzed by L-proline amides has been investigated.

Application

Chloroacetone was used in the synthesis of double-chain nonionic surfactants with an acid decomposition function via acid-catalyzed condensation with fatty alcohols (octyl, decyl and dodecyl). It was also used in the synthesis of meso-tetramethyl tetrakis-(4-phenoxy acetone)calix[4]pyrrole.

Following the synthesis and characterization of meso-tetramethyl tetrakis (4-phenoxy acetone) calix[4]pyrrole, 1, the solution properties of this receptor in various solvents were investigated. Particular emphasis is placed on the selection of the solvent in assessing thermodynamic selectivity in ion complexation

The stationary and intersection structures on the S(0) and S(1) potential energy surfaces of CH(3)COCH(2)Cl have been determined by the CAS(10,8)/cc-pVDZ optimizations and their relative energies are refined by the CASPT2//CAS(10,8)/cc-pVDZ single-point calculations. Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations were performed on
