Answer...

A compound undergoes aldol condensation only if it has α- hydrogen.

Methanal ( HCHO ) does not have α- hydrogen, hence it does not undergo.

The methanol does not undergo aldol condensation due to absence of alpha hydrogen atoms in it.

Explanation:

  • Aldol condensation is a reaction that results in the formation of a carbon-carbon bond when an enol (or enolate) molecule reacts with an aldehyde (or ketone).
  • An example of the enol and enolate form of acetone.
