An improved method for aldol condensation catalyses by Amberlyst A-26 OH: application in the synthesis of pseudoionone derivative, 11,15-dimethylhexadeca-8,10,14-trien-7-one

This paper reports the improved procedure for aldol condensation between citral and 2-octanone with Amberlyst A-26 OH to give 11,15-dimethyl-hexadeca-8,10,14-trien-7-one. The improved synthesis utilizing Amberlyst A-26 OH as the solid catalyst produces better yield (93.0%) and enables simple work-up...
