Answer

Step by step solution

01

Cross Aldol condensation

The reaction of the enolate ion with the carbonyl group other than reacting carbonyl species leads to the form ofα,β unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.

It is also called mixed aldol condensation because reacting carbonyl reacts with different carbonyls to form the product.

02

Formation of the product

As the hydrogen is protonated from the reacting species, formation of enolate ion occurs, which combines carbonyl other than reacting carbonyl species, followed by the removal of formation of unsaturated aldehyde appear as shown

Mixed aldol condensation
