Melamine trisulfonic acid as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the crossed-Aldol condensation of ketones and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions
Authors
Abstract
Various types of aldehydes undergo crossed-Aldol condensation with ketones in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA) under solvent-free conditions. The reported method is mild, efficient and has the advantages such as using heterogeneous catalysis, short reaction times, high yields of the products and the recyclability of the catalyst.
