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.
Steelers' Tomlin, youngest coach to win Super Bowl, signed through 2012 with option year
The Steelers became the third team to win five Super Bowls after they defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. The 2005 wild-card Steelers, led by coach Bill Cowher, also became the first wild-card team in history to win three playoff road games and the Super Bowl. Following the 2006 season, Cowher resigned and was replaced by Mike Tomlin, who in his second season led the team to victory in Super Bowl XLIII. The win marked their sixth championship in franchise history as the Steelers became the first team to win six Super Bowls.
