Question

1. What occurs during an aldol condensation reaction?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

An aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in organic chemistry in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone (an aldol reaction), followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.

Answer 2

An enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound, which is known as an Aldol condensation reaction.

• Aldol condensation is a term in organic chemistry.
• Here, an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound.
• Aldol condensation reaction happens in the presence of acid or base.
• The outcome of aldol condensation reaction is $\beta$-hydroxy aldehyde or $\beta$-hydroxy ketone.
• Aldehyde and alcohol abbreviation is aldol.
• Carbon-carbon bonding forms in an aldol reaction.
