Aldol reaction between simple benzaldehydes and ketones successfully happened in solvent‐ and catalyst‐free condition. The desired products were obtained in moderate yield at suitable temperature. Heat was assumed as the driving force for the reaction. This approach has obvious advantages to fully meet the requirement of the principles of green chemistry.
