Which of the following compound(s) cannot undergo aldol condensation ?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D
An aldol condensation is a reaction in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxyketone (an aldol reaction), followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.
Carbonyl compounds that contain α−hydrogen can undergo aldol condensation in the presence of dilute base as NaOH or KOH
Compounds (b) , (c) and (d) do not have α−hydrogen so they won't undergo aldol condensation reaction.
