A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH\]
B) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-\overset{O\,\,}{\mathop{\overset{||\,\,\,}{\mathop{C-}}\,}}\,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-\overset{O\,\,}{\mathop{\overset{||\,\,\,}{\mathop{C-}}\,}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C-\overset{O\,\,}{\mathop{\overset{||\,\,\,}{\mathop{C-}}\,}}\,C{{H}_{3}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Although both \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COC{{H}_{3}}\] and \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}CCOC{{H}_{3}}\] contain a-hydrogen, yet \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}CCOC{{H}_{3}}\] does not undergo Aldol condensation due to steric hindrance.
