The number of total final products formed in given reaction
Answers
Explanation:
where is the reaction...........
The number of total final products formed in given reaction : ethanal heated in presence of hydroxide ion .
Explanation:
The products formed due to this reaction are : 2 .
The reaction is : Aldol condensation reaction
It is of two types :
Self aldol condensation
Cross aldol condensation
Self aldol condensation
A condensation reaction in which two of the same molecule are condensed to form the product.
Cross aldol condensation
A crossed aldol condensation uses two different aldehyde and/or ketone reactants. Such reactions usually give a mixture of multiple condensation products, because there are two or more possible enolate nucleophiles, and two different carbonyl electrophiles.
Now as asked : Whe ethanal and ethanal are heated in presence of sodium hydroxide , it forms an β-hydroxyaldehydes or aldehyde-alcohols called as aldol.
The reaction is given below .
