Abstract: The acetone condensation on solid base catalysts was studied. The expected products, mesityl oxide, isophorone and very a little amount of phorone were obtained. The condensation process of acetone was discussed using conformation analytic method. The low yield ratio of phorone to isophorone was explained well.

Key words: Isophorone, Phorone, Stereochemistry, Condensation
