What product is obtained from the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone?
1 answer:
Answer:
First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-Second product is FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone
Explanation:
Please see the attached image for complete chemical reaction of aldol condensation of cyclohexanone
Aldol Condensation is a form of electrophilic substitution reaction in which the alpha carbon in enols or enolate anions is substituted by an electrophile to form carbon-carbon bond. Cyclohexanone also known as the first ketone consists of two alpha-carbons and four potential substitutions i.e alpha-hydrogens but none of the hydrogen on the ring is substituted. Ketones such as cyclohexanone are much more acidic than their parent hydrocarbon.
First product is FCH-OH chemically known as 2-[2-furyl(hydroxyl)methyl]-cyclohexanone that further undergoes dehydration resulting into FCH i.e (2E)-2-[2-furyl-methylene]-cyclohexanone
Based on the explanations above, the compound formed is shown in the image.

If we want the object to continue to move at constant speed, it means that the resultant of the forces acting on the object must be zero. So far, we have:
- force F1 with direction north, of 10 N
- force F2 with direction west, of 10 N
The third force must balance them, in order to have a net force of zero on the object.
The resultant of the two forces F1 and F2 is
with direction at
north-west. This means that F3 must be equal and opposite to this force: so, F3 must have magnitude 14.1 N and its direction should be 
south-east.
