Which of the following are examples of aldol condensation ?A. `2CH_(3)CHO overset(Dil.NaOH)rarr CH_(3)CHOHCH_(2)CHO`B. `2CH_(3)COCH_(3) overset(Dil.NaOH)rarr (CH_(3))_(2)C(HO)CH_(2)COCH_(3)`C. `2HCHO overset(Dil.NaOH)rarr CH_(3)OH`D. `C_(6)H_(5)CHO+HCHO overset(Dil.NaOH)rarr C_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)OH`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
(a) and (b) have `alpha-H` atoms, so they undergo aldol condensation, (c ) is Cannizzaro reaction, (d) is Claisen-Schmidt reaction.
