    The product obtained when acetaldehyde is treated with strong NaOH is:

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]

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

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Aldol condensation Aldehydes having \[\alpha -H\]atom gives aldol when treated with strong solution of NaOH. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+HC{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{NaOH}\underset{\text{Aldol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH(OH)}}\,C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]
