Abstract
This is a new example of a nonmetallic small-molecule catalyst for direct intermolecular aldol reactions. We found L-lysine is an effective catalyst for this condensation between unmodified acetone and a variety of aldehydes in the presence of pure water. This green catalyst system could be reused.
