摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) Combined forces: Theory and experiment are used together to determine the mechanism of primary amino acid catalyzed intermolecular aldol reactions. A six-membered chairlike structure is determined to be the transition state for the reaction between benzaldehyde and cyclohexanone catalyzed by (S)-alanine (see scheme), and a carboxylic acid catalyzed enamine mechanism is shown to be the most favorable reaction pathway. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
