Abstract
This paper presents mechanistic considerations on an efficient, green, and solvent-free Knoevenagel procedure for the chemical transformation of furanic aldehydes into their corresponding α,β-unsaturated compounds. In the proposed mechanism furanic aldehydes react with ammonia, released from ammonium salts, to form a catalytically active double Schiff base. The catalytic intermediates involved in the condensation step are characterized.
