The nitroaldol reaction is named after the chemist Henry Louis Le Chatelier, who first demonstrated the reaction between a nitro compound and an aldehyde or ketone in the late 19th century. Despite Le Chatelier's contribution, the reaction is often called the Henry reaction after the German chemist Henry Drysdale Dakin, who further investigated and popularized this reaction.
