The bromide cluster of Ta and chloride clusters of Nb, Mo, and W of the same octahedral metal framework also catalyzed the reaction. 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone combined with benzaldehyde similarly yielded the corresponding aldol condensation product over 1/SiO2 at 400 degrees C. On the other hand, 3-pentanone combined with benzaldehyde provided indenes such as E- and Z-1-ethylidene-2-methylindene and 2-methyl-3-vinylindene of the same carbon skeletal structure, which would be formed by cyclodehydration of the aldol condensation product, E-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-penten-3-one. One of the advantages of halide cluster catalysts is thermal stability, and high temperatures above 350 degrees C promoted the cyclodehydration. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
