Your aldol condensation procedure calls for refluxing vanillin in acetone and NaOH for an hour. Whatmight happen if you didn’t heat the reaction, or heated it for too short a time? a) A mixture of aldol products and hydroxyketone intermediates would form.b) No reaction would occur, as the heat is needed to deprotonate the acetone.c) The reaction would still be successful.d) No reaction would occur, as the heat is needed to dissolve the NaOH.
