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 Panthers' Cam Newton is 26, but is not one of the 10 youngest quarterbacks to start a Super Bowl. Miami's Dan Marino was the youngest, just 23 years old when he started for the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX in 1985.
