Abstract

The aldol reactions of propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde have been explored in supercritical CO2, scCO2, using an automated continuous flow reactor. The reaction was found to proceed over a variety of heterogeneous acidic and basic catalysts and with increased selectivity compared to using neat reactants.
