Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In picture 1 attached, we have the starting structure. In picture 2, you have the answer for this.
Basically this is an acid base reaction to promove then, a condensation of the molecule.
In the first step, the carbonile substract a H atom from the HCl. Then, by resonance the OH+, pass the charge to the carbon, which is tertiary and can be easily stabilized. Now, after this, the Chlorine substract an Hydrogen to get a double bond on the carbon with the charge, and this be stable. Now, a second molecule of benzaldehyde reacts with this, so we can have a condensation product.
See picture 2 for complete mechanism.
