Abstract
Aldol and Diels-Alder reactions in water in the presence of various dodecyl sulfate and dodecanesulfonate salts as Lewis acid-surfactant-combined catalysts have been studied. In the aldol reactions, these salts differed from each other with respect to their catalytic ability at the initial stage of the reaction and to the final yields of the aldol product, while these salts did not affect the reaction rates of the Diels-Alder reactions. These results disclose the remarkable characteristics of Lewis acid catalysis in water.
