Question

propanaldehyde reaction of aldol condensation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Aldol condensation mechanism steps

Now that alpha hydrogen atom connects with hydroxyl ion and forms a water molecule. Next, carbanion attacks the carbonyl carbon of another molecule of aldehyde or ketone. A new carbon carbon bond is formed. Due to form of new carbon carbon bond, C=O.

Answer 2

Answer:

Aldol Condensation Reaction :

1. Removal of alpha hydrogen of aldehyde or ketone by strong base like NaOH. ... Then the addition of an aldehyde or ketone to the carbanion formed in step 1. Carbonyl carbon will attack carbanion this results in the formation of -OH group in place of -C=O.
