This is because successful characteristics survive and reproduce.
Adaptation is both an evolutionary process and a result of natural selection, it is the process of evolution in which traits are modified by natural selection. It is a phenotypic trait that is moulded by natural selection such that organisms with successful characteristics survive and reproduce.

What product is obtained from the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone?

Evgesh-ka [11]

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.
