title: Optimizing the matching between the acid and the base of cooperative catalysis to inhibit dehydration in the aldol condensation.
abstract: A series of acid-base bifunctional catalysts were prepared, and high yields and excellent selectivity in the aldol condensation were achieved through adjustment of the matching between the acid and the base. The results indicated that proper matching between the acid and the base can both efficiently activate the substrate through cooperative activation and inhibit dehydration without diminishing the yield.
