Anurag Bajpayee,Tengfei Luo, Andrew Mutoa and Gang Chen **Very low temperature membrane-free desalination by directional solvent extraction**, Energy Environ. Sci., 2011,4, 1672-1675 DOI Describes the ability to extract pure water into decanoic and octanoic acids from brine by a heating and cooling cycle. 2. E. C. Blossey, L. M. Turner, and D. C. Neckers **Polymer-Protected Reagents. III. Acetal Formation with Polymer-Protected Aluminum Chloride**, J. Org. Chem., 1975, 40, 959-960 DOI Describes using polymer protected aluminum chloride as a catalyst for acetal formation. Includes data on no catalyst reactions. 3. Eugene G. Sander and William P. Jencks **Equilibria for Additions to the Carbonyl Group**, JACS, 1968, 90, 6154-6162 DOI Studies reactivity of p-chlorobenzaldehyde and other compounds. Reports that there is no reaction between 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and methanol or ethanol, which we have shown is incorrect. **[JCB]** 4. Fuchs, R.; Young, T. M.; Rodewald, R. F. Can. J. Chem. 1973,51 (equilibrium rates of methanol and benzaldehyde hemiacetal studied; from Doddi91) 5. https://www.thieme-connect.de/DOI/DOI?10.1055/s-1997-5770 Homochiral Amine Oxides in the Enantioselective Reduction of Ketones Status: to iLL (see lit search 2 ) 6. Phonchaiya et al. **A Facile Solvent-Free Cannizzaro Reaction**, J Chem Ed, 2009, 86, 85. DOI ] Suggests that the Cannizzaro might be discoverable with convenient conditions - but need to find organic base for CRS. **[todo add to RA JCB]** 7. Kekeli Ekoue-Kovi and Christian Wolf **Metal-Free One-Pot Oxidative Amination of Aromatic Aldehydes** Organic Syntheses 2010 DOI ] Getting very close with this one for an organic only version of the Cannizzaro - this one does have an in situ oxidation with a peroxide but does show a means of making an amide from an aldehyde and secondary amine. **[todo add to RA JCB]** 8.
