Question
Which carbonyl compounds do not undergo an aldol reaction when treated with OH in $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} ?$
Step 1
For a carbonyl compound to undergo an aldol reaction, it must have at least one α-hydrogen atom, which can be deprotonated by the hydroxide ion (OH-) to form the enolate ion. Carbonyl compounds that do not have any α-hydrogen atoms will not undergo an aldol Show more…
