Question: Draw the product formed from an aldol reaction with the given starting material(s) using OH,H2O.

Short Answer

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Aldol reaction

Aldol reactions are important as they help in adding a C-C bond between the two reactants. This reaction can take place either in between two same reactants or two different reactants.

02

Cross-aldol reaction

The products of the cross-aldol reaction are a mixture of two or more substances.However, this reaction can only be useful when one of the two reactants does not have an α-hydrogen and fewer products rather than four are obtained.

03

Products of the given reactions

a. The first reaction is the simple aldol reaction. The given reactant forms a C-C bond with another structure of its own. The product is shown hereunder.

b. The reaction is cross-aldol between two different carbonyl compounds. The product of the reaction is shown hereunder.

c. The reaction is cross-aldol between two different carbonyl compounds. The product of the reaction is shown hereunder.
