Abstract
Catalytic amounts of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) catalyze the condensation of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds to afford arylmethylidene products under the grindstone method. The reactions go to completion within 1-5 min at 26°C and give products in excellent yield. © 2010 The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.
