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
5: Most Super Bowl starts by any one quarterback. John Elway started his fifth Super Bowl and won his second Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XXXIII following Denver's 34-19 victory over Atlanta. Two years ago, Tom Brady matched Elway with his fifth Super Bowl start. However, neither can claim the most Super Bowl victories as Pittsburghâs Terry Bradshaw and San Franciscoâs Joe Montana won all four of their Super Bowl starts.
