Why benzaldehyde does not undergo aldol condensation?
Only those aldehydes may undergo the aldol condensation which have the alpha hydrogen (hydrogen at carbon adjacent to carbonyl carbon) in benzaldehyde alpha carbon is not present so it can not undergoes the aldol condensation.
waz up dawg,A hydroxide is taken from the glucose and a hydrogen is taken from the fructose. This leaves the glucose and fructose a place to bond. A hydroxide(HO) and a hydrogen (H) make a water...
Aldol condensation is the reaction of two aldehydes in the presence of a basic catalyst. The aldol condensation leads to an aldol product, in which an hydroxyl group is attached to the beta carbon of...
