Expert Solution
Step 1

As we know , we get beta hydroxy ketone in the aldol condensation reaction.

Also condensation is nothing but aldehyde and ketone undergoes base catalyzed condensation reaction to give betahydroxy aldehyde or ketone.

As here, we get beta hydroxy ketone that means our starting must be aldehyde and ketone.

Let's do retrosynthetic analysis , to find starting.
