Step 1
In the presence of a base such as NaOH, the alpha hydrogen of an aldehyde or ketone is deprotonated to form an enolate ion. This enolate ion then acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon of another molecule of the aldehyde or ketone, forming a Show more…

Draw the full mechanism for the aldol condensation of benzaldehyde and acetone (in the presence of NaOH/H2O). a. What type of elimination occur for an aldol condensation reaction? b. What product must form before the elimination reaction can occur?

Butanal, when reacted with sodium hydroxide in an ethanol solvent, undergoes an aldol condensation. Draw this reaction by filling in the missing structures in the boxes below: (2 pts each, 6 pts total) NaOH EtOH loses H2O butanal aldol product β-hydroxyaldehyde dehydration product α,β-unsaturated aldehyde Using the curved arrow convention to show bond making and bond breaking, draw a reasonable mechanism for this aldol condensation. You do not have to draw the elimination mechanism: (4 pts)
