Interpretation: The molecule
Concept introduction: Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of
One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
If a compound has two carbonyl functional groups that can react with each other, an intramolecular reaction readily occurs. The reaction leads to the formation of five or six-membered rings.
