Options
- ACH ₃ CHO , ( CH ₃ )₂ CO , NaOH
- BCH ₃ CHO , CH ₃ CHO , NaCl
- C( CH ₃ )₂ CO , ( CH ₃ )₂ CO , HCl
- DCH ₃ CHO , CH ₃ CHO , NaOH
Correct answer
D. CH ₃ CHO , CH ₃ CHO , NaOH
Step-by-step solution
Aldehydes having -H-atoms undergoes aldol condensation in the presence of dil. NaOH and yield -hydroxy aldehydes.
