In a mixed aldol condensation with unknown aldehydes and ketones experiment, some aldol condensation reactions need to be heated for the dehydration step to occur. Explain why that was not necessary for the reactions carried out in this experiment? [Hint: what makes the product especially stable?]. This experiment used ethanol, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, cyclohexanone and 4- methoxybenzaldehyde.

This experiment is aldol condensation reaction. Complete the table
Would any other aldol condensation products form? Also, if the acid was replaced with sodium ethoxide what else would we need to change about the reaction conditions to ensure that the same product forms?
(b) Why is the Claisen-Schmidt reaction a special type of aldol condensation? one of the reactants does not have a β hydrogen one of the reactants is acetone the reaction is base-catalyzed one of the reactants does not have an α hydrogen (b) Aside from having a carboxylic acid functional group, salicylic acid also has which of the following functionality? aldehyde alcohol ester phenol
Write structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the aldol below. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate nucleophile in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.

Draw the aldol product that will form when the two reactants shown here are reacted in the presence of an amine base. Do not draw the conjugate acid of the triethylamine base that results. Be sure to include all lone pairs of electrons and formal charges in your product.
The first step of the dimedone reaction involves an aldol reaction. Here is a simpler version - which of the molecules shown is the product from this aldol reaction?
In this experiment we will perform a Grignard addition to an ester. First we will form the Grignard reagent from magnesium and bromobenzene and then we will add it to methyl benzoate to produce triphenylcarbinol (also called triphenylmethanol). The sequence and mechanism are attached below Why do you need to add HCl in this reaction? What would happen if you did not add enough?
Benzalacetone is a side product formed in the aldol condensation of dibenzalacetone. Show the reaction mechanism of how this side product, Benzalacetone, is formed.
Aldol Condensation- Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone The protocol says that, after adding in all the reactants, stir for an additional 15 minutes. A student swirled for only 8 minutes and then, correctly, stopped and proceeded with isolating the product. What did the student do that gave such confidence and accuracy?
Mixed aldol condensations involving benzaldehyde yield typically a single product. Draw the structure of the partner that was used to synthesize this molecule: You do not have to consider stereochemistry. You do not have to explicitly draw H atoms. Do not include lone pairs in your answer. They will not be considered in the grading.
how do i know if my aldol condensation is E or Z with the help of IR and NMR? what peaks should i be looking at? also, can someone give me a example of how to calculate the percent yield for aldol condensation?
