Neat" means you run your reaction without a solvent. For example, I ran a reaction where benzaldehyde was one of the reactants. Benzaldehyde is a liquid at room temp, and it also was able to solvate my other reactants/catalyst. For this reason, the reaction was just run in stoichiometric benzaldehyde ("neat") as opposed to in a solvent. It provides better atom efficiency.

Answer:
Neat: A sample or process which is conducted in a liquid phase, without any solvent. The term is probably borrowed from bartending, where 'neat' refers to a single (unmixed) liquor, served by itself on 'on the rocks' (over ice). Octan-2-ol (neat)
