- Many types of carbonyl condensation reactions have acquired specialized names, after the 19th century organic chemists who studied them. Propose mechanisms for the following named condensations: Perkin condensation: condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with a carboxylic acid anhydride Darzens condensation: Condensation of an α-haloester with a ketone or an aromatic aldehyde.
