Question

The product of aldol condensation reaction is​

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

Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis, because they provide a good way to form carbon–carbon bonds.[1] For example, the Robinson annulation reaction sequence features an aldol condensation;[1] the Wieland–Mies cher ketone product is an important starting material for many organic syntheses.[2] Aldol condensations are also commonly discussed in university level organic chemistry classes as a good bond-forming reaction that demonstrates important reaction mechanisms. In its usual form, it involves the nucleophilic addition of a ketone enolate to an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy ketone, or "aldol" (aldehyde + alcohol), a structural unit found in many naturally occurring molecules and pharmaceuticals.
