Chapter 23.SE, Problem 23VC
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 23.SE, Problem 23VC , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

Which aldehyde or ketone gives in an aldol reaction the compound represented by the model is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Aldehydes with α-hydrogen undergo a base catalyzed carbonyl condensation reaction in aldol condensation. In this reaction two molecules of the reactant combine by forming a bond between α- carbon of one molecule and the carbonyl carbon of the second molecule. The product obtained is a β-hydroxyaldehyde.

To state:

Which aldehyde or ketone gives in an aldol reaction the compound represented by the model.
