Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The aldol addition product of given compounds ahs to be predicted.
Concept introduction: Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of
(b)
Interpretation: To state the aldol addition product of given compounds.
Concept introduction: Aldol reaction is an addition reaction of aldehydes and ketones. Aldol reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydroxide. 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
