Water is removed through nucleophilic displacement in the Japp-Maitland reaction of this type. Variations of this reaction have a stereoselectivity that is explained through the Zimmerman- Traxler model. An enone is produced in another variant of this reaction, named for Knoevenagel (NOY ven ahh gull). This reaction produce
Water is removed through nucleophilic displacement in the Japp-Maitland reaction of this type. Variations of this reaction have a stereoselectivity that is explained through the Zimmerman- Traxler model. An enone is produced in another variant of this reaction, named for Knoevenagel (NOY ven ahh gull). This reaction produces (*) beta-hydroxy aldehydes. The co-discovery with Charles Wurtz of this reaction was the pinnacle of Alexander Borodin's chemistry career. This reaction follows a Michael addition in the Robinson annulation. For 10 points, name this type of reaction that occurs between two aldehydes containing alpha carbons, a type of condensation reaction.
