Abstract
Abstract Coordinatively saturated hydroxocobalt(III) Schiff base complexes catalyze highly selective aldol reaction of dibenzoylmethanes with formaldehyde in methanol to give 1,3-dibenzoylpropanes, resulting from retro-Claisen reaction of 1,1,3,3-tetrabenzoylpropanes, which are obtained quantitatively in dichloromethane. Coordinatively saturated cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes ligating a substrate anion as a monodentate ligand is found to be the reactive species.
