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.
