Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structures of the aldol condensation products of each of the given compound in the problem 21.9 are to be drawn. Among these given aldehydes, the one that does not undergo aldol condensation is to be identified and the reason is to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

>

In the presence of either acid or base, the two molecules of aldehydes or ketone that present alpha hydrogen are react and forms β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds, this reaction is known as aldol addition reaction.

>

The dehydration of aldol addition product results in the formation of α,β- unsaturated ketone or aldehyde. Such a reaction is known as aldol condensation reaction.
