QUESTION 12
Consider the following crossed aldol condensation. Which statement explains why a single cross condensation product is formed?
2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone
0
H₂C
H₂C
H
NOCH₂CH₂
ethanol
CH₂
CH₂
benzaldehyde
O 2.2-Dimethylcyclohexanone has only one alpha carbon which can form an enolate.
O Benzaldehyde has no hydrogens attached to the alpha carbon which eliminates the self-condenatation reaction.
O 22-Dimethylcyclohexanone is sterically hindered which limits the self-condenstation reaction.
All of the above.
