Which of the following statement is correct regarding the aldol condensation ?

Answer»

All aldehydes give this REACTION
Ketones do notgive this reaction
This reaction PROCEEDS in presence of STRONG alkali
Ketones, in which `alpha ` - hydrogen atom is present , give this reaction

Solution :We know that in aldol condensation, `alpha `- hydrogen atoms undergo self- additionbetween two molecules to form `BETA`- hydroxy ketone. Therefore ketone in which `alpha`- hydrogen atom is present, give this reaction .
