The product of the given reaction has to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Aldol addition is an reaction which occurs between two molecules of aldehydes or two molecules of 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 β-hydroxy aldehyde if two aldehydes combine and β-hydroxy ketone if two ketones combine.

Mechanism for the aldol addition:
