Predict the product of the aldol condensation reaction.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B
Diketone on reacting with NaOH undergoes intramolecular aldol condensation.
Here, the base will abstract the hydrogen to form enolate ion and it will attack the other ketone group to form aldol followed by dehydration to form α,β-unsaturated ketone.
Mechanism:
