'Draw the aldol product for the reaction of the aldehyde shown with NaOH. Assume the reaction is run under conditions that allow the reaction to stop before dehydration: NaOH'
Added by Krista B.
Step 1
The first step is to identify the structure of the aldehyde involved in the reaction. For this example, let's assume the aldehyde is acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO). Show more…
