A) two different aldehydes
B) two different ketones
C) an aldehyde and a ketone
D) an aldehyde and an ester
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Aldol condensation occurs in between two moles of carbonyl compounds among which at least one must have a-hydrogen atom, in dilute basic media. This results in the formation of \[\beta \]-hydroxyaldehyde or ketones and finally a, p-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones. As ester \[(R-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} O \\ || \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-O-R)\] does not contain a reactive carbonyl group , so it does not perform aldol condensation.You need to login to perform this action.
