To state:
Whether trimethylacetaldehyde undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction or not.
To show:
The product formed, if the reaction is successful.
Answer to Problem 48AP
Trimethylacetaldehyde does not undergo aldol self-condensation reaction. The reaction is not successful.
Explanation of Solution
The requirement of aldol reaction is the aldehyde or ketone should have α-hydrogen atom. Trimethylacetaldehyde does not possess α-hydrogen atom. Hence the reaction is not successful.
Trimethylacetaldehyde does not undergo aldol self-condensation reaction. The reaction is not successful.

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 within the same molecule or of the second molecule.
To state:
Whether cyclobutanone undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction or not.
To show:
The product formed, if the reaction is successful.
Answer to Problem 48AP
Cyclobutanone undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction. The product formed is
Explanation of Solution
The requirement of aldol reaction is the aldehyde or ketone should have α-hydrogen atom. Cyclobutanone has α-hydrogen atoms. Hence the reaction is successful. Two molecules of cyclobutanone condense in the presence of a base to yield an aldol which dehydrates to give α, β-unsaturated ketone.

To state:
Whether 3-pentanone undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction or not.
To show:
The product formed, if the reaction is successful.
Answer to Problem 48AP
3-pentanone undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction. The product formed is
Explanation of Solution
The requirement of aldol reaction is the aldehyde or ketone should have α-hydrogen atom. 3-Pentanone has α-hydrogen atom. Hence the reaction is successful. Two molecules of 3-pentanone condense in the presence of a base to yield an aldol which dehydrates to give the α, β-unsaturated ketone.
3-pentanone undergoes aldol self-condensation reaction. The product formed is
