    Which of the following would undergo aldol condensation [MP PMT 1986; BHU 1995]

    A)                 \[CC{{l}_{3}}.CHO\]        

    B)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\underset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{\overset{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}\,}{\mathop{C\,\,-}}\,}}\,CHO\]

    C)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}.C{{H}_{2}}.CHO\]   

    D)                 HCHO

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[\overset{\beta }{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}}}\,-\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}}}\,-CHO\] aldehydes having \[\alpha -H\] atom can participate in aldol condensation. The \[H-\]atom attached to \[\alpha \] carbon atom are called \[\alpha \]-hydrogen.
