Concept introduction:
To state:
Whether 2-hydroxy-2-methylpentanal is an aldol condensation product or not. Further to state the aldehyde or ketone precursor from which it can be prepared.
b) 5-Ethyl-4-methyl-4-hepten-3-one
Interpretation:
Whether 5-ethyl-4-methyl4-heptene-3-one is an aldol condensation product or not is to be stated. The aldehyde or ketone precursor from which it can be prepared also is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Aldehydes and ketones with α-hydrogen undergo a base catalyzed carbonyl condensation reaction in aldol condensation. In this reaction two molecules of the reactant combine by forming a bond between α-carbon of one molecule and the carbonyl carbon of the second molecule. The product obtained is a β-hydroxyaldehyde or ketone.
To state:
Whether 5-Ethyl-4-methyl-4-heptene-3-one is an aldol condensation product or not. Further to state the aldehyde or ketone precursor from which it can be prepared.

Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
