Abstract
Keep the fire burning: It is hard to find new aspects to the aldol reaction, as a wealth of diastereoselective and enantioselective examples with a range of catalysts are known. However, recent work on template-mediated cross-aldol reactions and ribozyme-catalyzed aldol reactions show that this topic is still hot. Both reports are relevant to the theory of the RNA world.
