Knoevenagel reaction is one of the classical ways of C=C bond formation where a carbon nucleophile is added to a carbonyl function followed by a dehydration. This name reaction has a great reputation in synthetic organic chemistry by virtue of its application in the synthesis of molecules of varied interest. Here in, the importance and supplication of Knoevenagel reaction are reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
