Reported here is a new method for the aldol synthesis which is regiospecific, simple, and efficient. It is expected that the process will find widespread use and that in many instances it will be found superior to currently important procedures.] The new process may be represented by Scheme I. In principle, organoaluminum compounds have a vast potential as an agent of aldol reaction, although this concept has not been generally accepted for ...
