The Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction: 40 Years of Continuous Development

A directed cross‐aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with carbonyl compounds, such as aldehydes and ketones, promoted by a Lewis acid, a reaction which is now widely known as the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. It was first reported in 1973, and this year marks the 40th anniversary. The directed cross‐aldol reactions mediated by boron enolates and tin(II) enolates also emerged from the Mukaiyama laboratory. These directed cross‐aldol reactions have become invaluable tools for the construction of stereochemically complex molecules from two carbonyl compounds. This Minireview provides a succinct historical overview of their discoveries and the early stages of their development.     

加热方式及原料配比对介孔CeO2结构及其光催化性能的影响

以P123（聚环氧乙烷-聚环氧丙烷-聚环氧乙烷三嵌段共聚物）为模板剂,Ce（NO₃）₃为反应原料,通过考察加热方式、加热温度、原料配比等因素,合成了结构性能较好、表面羟基含量较高的介孔CeO₂材料。利用XRD,N₂吸附-脱附,TEM,Raman,FT-IR等技术对合成样品的结构性能进行了表征,结果表明,当P123与Ce（NO₃）₃物质的量之比为1：10,在110℃水热下合成的CeO₂结构性能最好。以酸性橙7（AO7）为探针分子,对合成介孔CeO₂的光催化性能进行评价。光催化结果证明,由于表面羟基含量较高、介孔及氧缺位的形成,所合成结构性能较好的CeO₂,利用可见光可彻底催化降解溶液中的AO7。
