The salts of transition metals are the most active catalysts for the aldol condensation of aliphatic aldehydes. By IR spectroscopy it was found that an intermediate complex between the aldehyde and the catalyst is formed at the initial stage of the reaction. A chelate mechanism of catalysis is proposed for the aldol condensation and satisfactorily explains the order of formation of the intermediate and final products.
