In organic chemistry, carbon-carbon bonds are created by the aldol reaction. The reaction, which was independently discovered in 1869 by the Russian scientist Alexander Borodin and in 1872 by the French chemist Charles-Adolphe Wurtz, combines two carbonyl compounds (aldehydes were employed in the initial investigations) to create a new -hydroxy carbonyl compound. These items are referred to as "aldols" since many of the compounds share the structural theme of aldehyde + alcohol. Numerous significant compounds, whether they are created artificially or naturally, include aldol structural units. The aldol reaction, for instance, has been utilised in the mass manufacture of the chemical commodity pentaerythritol and the synthesis of the heart disease medication Lipitor (atorvastatin, calcium salt). The aldol reaction combines two very straightforward compounds into one that is more complicated. Complexity is raised as a result of the production of up to two extra stereogenic centres (on the aldol adduct's carbons, shown by asterisks in the scheme below). In addition to providing high yield aldol reactions, modern approaches may control the relative and absolute configuration of these stereocenters. It is crucial to have the ability to carefully synthesise stereoisomers since they can have distinctive chemical and biological properties.
