When 2-phenylacetaldehyde is added dropwise to benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide they undergo a crossed aldol rea
ction to form 3-hydroxy-2,3-diphenylpropanal?
1 answer:
Carbonyl Compounds containing alpha proton readily donates alpha acidic proton when treated with strong Base. In given statement <span>2-phenylacetaldehyde is converted into Enolate and Enolates acts as a nucleophile and attacks carbonyl group of Benzaldehyde. The mechanism of given reaction is as follow, the movement of electrons is shown by RED arrows,</span>

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:
where,
are the molarity and volume of the stock sulfuric acid solution
are the molarity and volume of diluted sulfuric acid solution
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of stock solution needed is 90 mL
