An aldol condensation is an organic reaction in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a Î²-hydroxyaldehyde or Î²-hydroxyketone, followed by a dehydration to give a conjugated enone. Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, providing a good way to form carbonâcarbon bonds.For example, the Robinson annulation reaction sequence features an aldol condensation; the Wieland-Miescher ketone product is an important starting material for many organic syntheses.owever, the aldol reaction is not formally a condensation reaction because it does not involve the loss of a small molecule. The reaction between an aldehyde/ketone and a carbonyl compound lacking an alpha-hydrogen (cross aldol condensation) is called the Claisen-Schmidt condensation.
