Answer»

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)COOCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(3)`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHOHCH_(2)CH_(2)CHO`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHOHCH(C_(2)H_(5))CHO`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)COCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO`

Solution :This is ALDOL condensation reaction
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO + CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO overset("dil.NaOH") to underset("2-ethyl 3- hydroxy hexanal ")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHOHCH(C_(2)H_(5))CHO)`
