A new, green, and highly efficient protocol for the expeditious preparation of some α,α′‐bis[(aryl or allyl)idene]cycloalkanones and 2‐[(aryl or allyl)idene]‐1‐indanones via a simple microwave‐assisted Claisen–Schmidt condensation reaction catalyzed by MoCl5 was successfully developed. Outstanding features of the current methodology include the use of solvent‐free conditions, simple operation, use of
Chloride anions associated with various soft cations (like tetraalkyl ammoniums, alkyl imidazoliums or pyridiniums) were shown to be able to promote the alkylation of carbonyl derivatives with acidic compounds, as exemplified on Knoevenagel and aldol condensations under relatively mild conditions. This activity was attributed to an enhanced nucleophilicity of the chlorine anion, originating from a
