Mixed aldol condensations involving benzaldehyde yield typically a single product. draw the structure of the partner that was us
1 answer:
The partner that is used along with benzaldehyde is acetophenone to yield 1,3-Diphenylprop-2-en-1-one.
<h3>What is Adol Condensation?</h3>In adol condensation, aldehydes or ketones having α - H atoms undergo condensation in the presence of a dilute alkali to form β - hydroxy aldehydes or ketones.
<h3>What is Mixed Adol Condensation?</h3>Under mixed or crossed adol condensation,
- two different aldehyde molecules or
- 2 different ketone molecules or
- one aldehyde and one ketone molecule
undergoes condensation in the presence of dilute alkali to form a mixture of β - hydroxy aldehyde or ketone.
The following reaction takes place:
