The condensation of a series of CH acids (fluorene, phenylacetonitrile, ethene) with aromatic aldehydes was realized in the aqueous sodium hydroxide-organic solvent-phase-transfer catalyst system. 9-Substituted fluorenesdo not enter into condensation under the indicated conditions. The condensation of fluorene, PhCH/sub 2/CN, CH/sub 2/(CN)/sub 2/, and CH/sub 2/(CN)COOEt with benzaldehyde and also of CH/sub 2/(CN)COOEt with cyclohexanone was realized in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride, deposited on silica gel. It was shown that the yield of the product from crotonic condensation in the reaction of CH/sub 2/(COOEt)/sub 2/ with benzaldehyde is small, and this is due to the instability of PhCh = C(COOEt)/sub 2/ under the reaction conditions. Sodiomalonic ester was condensed with benzaldehyde in the presence of titanium tetrachloride or aluminum chloride.
