    Propanal on reaction with dilute sodium hydroxide forms:

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

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CH(OH)C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}CH(OH)C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CH(OH)CH(C{{H}_{3}})CHO\]

    E)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOH\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Propanal having a-hydrogen atom undergo aldol condensation in presence ofdil. base like\[NaOH\]. \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}CHO+C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\alpha }{\mathop{C}}\,{{H}_{2}}CHO\] \[\xrightarrow[NaOH]{dill.}C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-CHO\]
