Cooperation is key: N-Butyl-1-benzimidazole-2-phenylboronic acid hydroxide complex catalyzes the aldol condensation and aldol addition between hydroxyacetone or acetone, and different aldehydes in water. The catalytic activity results from cooperativ... Read More about A Catalytic Aldol Reaction and Condensation through In Situ Boron “Ate” Complex Enolate Generation in Water.
