Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of four β hydroxyaldehydes obtained from a mixture of butanal and penatanal in basic aqueous medium has to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Two molecules of aldehyde or ketone combines to form a β- hydroxyaldehyde or a β- hydroxyketone in presence of a strong base by the removal of molecules of water is called aldol condensation.

Crossed aldol addition is an reaction where four products are formed when two different carbonyl compound are used.

The reaction with OH ion gives two different enolate ions.
