### Chemical Reaction Scheme

This image depicts a chemical reaction between two compounds:

1. **Reactants:**
   - The first reactant is a fluorobenzaldehyde, which consists of a benzene ring with a fluorine atom attached and an aldehyde group (−CHO).
   - The second reactant is acetaldehyde (ethanal), characterized by a simple aldehyde structure with one carbon atom bonded to a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydrogen atom (−CHO).

2. **Reaction Conditions:**
   - The reaction is carried out in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a base.
   - Water (H₂O) is involved, and the reaction is conducted with heat, indicated by the delta symbol (∆).

This provides the setup for what is likely a base-catalyzed aldol condensation reaction, which typically forms a β-hydroxy aldehyde or ketone.
