Solution
The correct option is C α,β−Unsaturated aldehyde or ketone
Aldol condensation occurs in aldehydes having α-hydrogen with a dilute base to give β-hydroxy aldehydes called aldols. This reaction is most commonly known as aldol condensation. If the condensation reaction occurs between two different carbonyl compounds it is called crossed aldol condensation.
Aldol Condensation can be defined as an organic reaction in which enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form β-hydroxy ketone or β-hydroxy aldehyde, followed by dehydration to give a conjugated aldehyde or ketone. Aldol Condensation plays a vital role in organic synthesis, creating a path to form carbon-carbon bonds.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
