Question

Which pair of reactants will undergo aldol condensation to produce methylvinyl ketone?

Answer 1

When formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other( aldol condensation) then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.

In organic chemistry, an aldol condensation would be a condensation reaction in which an enol and enolate ion combines with a carbonyl chemical to produce a -hydroxy aldehyde or -hydroxy ketone, that is then dehydrated to produce a conjugated enone.

In aldol condensation, when  formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.

It can be written as

$CH_{2} O + CH_{3} COCH_{3}$ → $HOCH_{2} -CH_{2} -CO-CH_{3}$

When it will be heated then it gives methyl vinyl ketones.

$HOCH_{2} -CH_{2} -CO-CH_{3}$ → $CH_{2} =CH-CO-CH_{3}$

So, the pair of reactants will be formaldehyde and acetone
