The above reaction is called
A) Aldol reaction
B) Cannizzaro reaction
C) Schmidt reaction
D) Tischenko reaction
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
\[\underset{acetone}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} || \\ O \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}\,+\underset{acetone}{\mathop{H-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{NaOH}\] \[\underset{aldol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} C{{H}_{3}} \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}\] This is aldol condensation reaction.
