Question

discuss the mechanism of aldol condensation.​

Answer 1

Aldol condensation is an organic reaction in which an enolate ion reacts with carboxyl compound in order to form a β– hydroxy aldehyde or β– hydroxy ketone. ... This reaction can be seen as an acid-base reaction. The aldehyde is attacked at the electrophilic carbonyl carbon by the nucleophilic enolate ion.
