My alehyde is 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, and my ketone is 4-methylcyclohexanone. can you answer these questions please. 1. The recation 2. Using your assigned aldehyde and ketone as the reactants, write the complete curved-arrow mechanism for formation of the 1:1 aldol condensation adduct you drew for the previous question. Assume that aqueous NaOH is used as the base for this reaction. Be sure to show all lone pairs and nonzero formal charges. If an intermediate is a resonance hybrid, it is only necessary to draw the most important contributing resonance structure. 3. Draw the structure of the 2:1 aldol condensation adduct that would form when 1 equivalent of your assigned ketone reacts with 2 equivalents of your assigned aldehyde. Calculate the molar mass of this compound and report its literature melting point
