    The compound that can be formed by aldol condensation of acetaldehyde is

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-COOH\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  || \\  O \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : \[2C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  O \\  || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H\xrightarrow[condensation]{Aldol}\underset{\beta -hydroxybutyraldehyde}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  OH \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-CHO}}\,\]
