There has been, in recent years, a considerable interest in the study of aldehydes (Aravindan et al, 2003;Han & Zhen 2005;Qi et al, 2005), since these compounds are commodity chemicals used as intermediates in the manufacture of acids or alcohols, and to produce many important industrial products. Aldehydes are also used as important precusors in the synthesis of macrocyclic or/and macrobicyclic compounds by [1 + 1], [2 + 2] or [2 + 3] condensation with polyamines (Ma & Liu, 2003a;Ma & Liu, 2003b;Ma & Cao, 2005;Ragunathan & Bharadwaj, 1992;Ray & Bharadwaj, 2006).…”
