Well ordered mesoporous silicate films were prepared in supercritical carbon dioxide.[218] In the synthesis in aqueous or alcoholic solution, film morphology of preorganized surfactants on substrate cannot be fully prescribed before silica-framework formation, because structure evolution is coincident with precursor condensation. The rapid and efficient preparation of mesostructured metal oxides by the in situ condensation of metal oxides within preformed nonionic surfactants can be done in supercritical CCU- The synthesis procedure is as follows. A copolymer template is prepared by spin-coating from a solution containing a suitable acid catalyst. Upon drying and annealing to induce microphase separation and enhance order, the acid partitions into the hydrophilic domain of the template. The template is then exposed to a solution of metal alkoxide in humidified supercritical C02. The precursor diffuses into the template and condenses selectively within the acidic hydrophilic domain of the copolymer to form the incipient metal oxide network. The templates did not go into the C02 phase because their solubility is very low. The alcohol by-product of alkoxide condensation is extracted rapidly from the film into the C02 phase, which promotes rapid and extensive network condensation. Because the template and the metal oxide network form in discrete steps, it is possible to pattern the template via lithography or to orient the copolymer domains before the formation of the metal oxide network. 

An aldol condensation (selectivity 100 1) between e reagent 106a (produced from optically active mandelic acid), known to induce (f ) chirality, and propionaldehyde, followed by desilylation and oxidative cleavage of the resulting a-hydroxy ketone gave the p-hydroxy acid 107 in 85% yield. Esterification, silylation, and a reduction-oxidation sequence then afforded a 75% overall yield...

The ethyl group was added by imine reduaton Chapter 8). The. stereochemistry will be as shown since the condensation selectively gives tram PhCHcCHNOjand the nitro group goes endo (Chapter 17). 

Gas-phase alkylation with a benzene/propylene ratio of 5 1 takes place using phosphoric acid silicate catalysts at temperatures of 250 to 350 °C and pressures of 30 to 45 bar. The reaction is carried out in the presence of steam to achieve better control of the exothermic conversion, and at the same time to fix the phosphoric acid better to the carrier through the formation of hydrates. In order to produce one part by weight of cumene, 0.67 parts of benzene and 0.38 parts of propylene are converted. Around 0.05 parts by weight of heavy aromatics (tar) arise through polyalkylation and condensation selectivity is 96 to 97 mol %. 

The sulfones prepared can be metallated with KHMDS at low temperature and, unlike the related benzothiazolyl and 1-phenyl-li/-tetrazolyl systems, show excellent stability with little tendency to self-condense. Selectivities observed in olefinations are good to excellent in favor of the Z-isomers (eq 3).

Dithiolane Formation. 1,2-Ethanedithiol (1) condenses with aldehydes, ketones, and acetals to afford 1,3-dithiolanes, - useful for carbonyl protection (eqs 1 and 2). Stability, condensation selectivity, and conditions for carbonyl regeneration parallel those discussed for 1,3-Propanedithiol. Esters and lactones can be protected as ketene dithioacetals and/or dithioortholactones, resistant to nucleophilic attack, using the bis(dimethylalanyl) derivative of (1). ...

Electronic spectra are almost always treated within the framework of the Bom-Oppenlieimer approxunation [8] which states that the total wavefiinction of a molecule can be expressed as a product of electronic, vibrational, and rotational wavefiinctions (plus, of course, the translation of the centre of mass which can always be treated separately from the internal coordinates). The physical reason for the separation is that the nuclei are much heavier than the electrons and move much more slowly, so the electron cloud nonnally follows the instantaneous position of the nuclei quite well. The integral of equation (BE 1.1) is over all internal coordinates, both electronic and nuclear. Integration over the rotational wavefiinctions gives rotational selection rules which detemiine the fine structure and band shapes of electronic transitions in gaseous molecules. Rotational selection rules will be discussed below. For molecules in condensed phases the rotational motion is suppressed and replaced by oscillatory and diflfiisional motions. 

The selective intermolecular addition of two different ketones or aldehydes can sometimes be achieved without protection of the enol, because different carbonyl compounds behave differently. For example, attempts to condense acetaldehyde with benzophenone fail. Only self-condensation of acetaldehyde is observed, because the carbonyl group of benzophenone is not sufficiently electrophilic. With acetone instead of benzophenone only fi-hydroxyketones are formed in good yield, if the aldehyde is slowly added to the basic ketone solution. Aldols are not produced. This result can be generalized in the following way aldehydes have more reactive carbonyl groups than ketones, but enolates from ketones have a more nucleophilic carbon atom than enolates from aldehydes (G. Wittig, 1968). 

A classical way to achieve regioselectivity in an (a -i- d -reaction is to start with a-carbanions of carboxylic acid derivatives and electrophilic ketones. Most successful are condensations with 1,3-dicarbonyl carbanions, e.g. with malonic acid derivatives, since they can be produced at low pH, where ketones do not enolize. Succinic acid derivatives can also be de-protonated and added to ketones (Stobbe condensation). In the first example given below a Dieckmann condensation on a nitrile follows a Stobbe condensation, and selectivity is dictated by the tricyclic educt neither the nitrile group nor the ketone is enolizable (W.S. Johnson, 1945, 1947). 

In an intramolecular aldol condensation of a diketone many products are conceivable, since four different ends can be made. Five- and six-membered rings, however, wUl be formed preferentially. Kinetic or thermodynamic control or different acid-base catalysts may also induce selectivity. In the Lewis acid-catalyzed aldol condensation given below, the more substituted enol is formed preferentially (E.J. Corey, 1963 B, 1965B). 

Functional group selectivity is often easy to achieve in reduction and condensation reactions since several highly selective reagents for reduction and for protection offunctional groups are available. 

The method was applied to the synthesis of (-t-)-l9-nortestosterone by the following sequence of reactions. Michael addition of the bisannulation reagent 124 to the optically active keto ester 129 and decarboxylation afforded 130, and subsequent aldol condensation gave 131. Selective Pd-catalyzed oxidation of the terminal double bond afforded the diketone 132 in 78% yield. Reduction of the double bond and aldol condensation gave ( + )-19-nortestosterone (133)[114]. 

Hexamethylolmelamine can further condense in the presence of an acid catalyst ether linkages can also form (see Urea Eormaldehyde ). A wide variety of resins can be obtained by careful selection of pH, reaction temperature, reactant ratio, amino monomer, and extent of condensation. Eiquid coating resins are prepared by reacting methanol or butanol with the initial methylolated products. These can be used to produce hard, solvent-resistant coatings by heating with a variety of hydroxy, carboxyl, and amide functional polymers to produce a cross-linked film. 

Furfural has been used as a component in many resin appHcations, most of them thermosetting. A comprehensive review of the patent Hterature describing these uses is beyond the scope of this review. A few, selected recent patents and journal articles have been referenced. Resins prepared from the condensation products of furfural with urea (47), formaldehyde (48), phenols (49,50), etc, modified by appropriate binders and fillers are described in the technical Hterature for earlier appHcations, see reference 1, which contains many references in an appendix.
