Base catalyzed aldol condensation occurs with
Base catalyzed aldol condensation occurs with
Options
- A2,2-dimethyl propanal
- BPropanal
- CBenzaldehyde
- D2,2-dimethyl propenal and Benzaldehyde
Correct answer
B. Propanal
Step-by-step solution
Aldol condensation is given by aldehydes and ketones that contain at least one -hydrogen atom.
In 2,2-dimethyl propanal, the -carbon is attached to three methyl groups and has no -hydrogen.
In benzaldehyde, the -carbon is part of the benzene ring and has no -hydrogen.
In propanal (CH_3-CH_2-CHO-carbon has two -hydrogen atoms. Therefore, it undergoes base-catalyzed aldol condensation.
Answer: Propanal
In 2,2-dimethyl propanal, the -carbon is attached to three methyl groups and has no -hydrogen.
In benzaldehyde, the -carbon is part of the benzene ring and has no -hydrogen.
In propanal (CH_3-CH_2-CHO-carbon has two -hydrogen atoms. Therefore, it undergoes base-catalyzed aldol condensation.
Answer: Propanal
