One of the important concerns in the field of catalysis is to find a reliable route to reduce the transition energies to reach the corresponding product. The mechanism of Knoevenagel condensation of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde and malononitrile in the presence of imidazole, an organocatalyst, is investigat...
