Which of the following compounds undergo Aldol condensation followed by dehydration to give 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-al?
- A Benzaldehyde and Acetone
- B Two molecules of Benzaldehyde
- C Benzaldehyde and Ethanal
- D Benzaldehyde and Acetophenone
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Benzaldehyde and Ethanal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The target product is 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-al, which is cinnamaldehyde. Its structure is \(C_{6}H_{5}-CH=CH-CHO\). The structure contains a phenyl group attached to a three-carbon chain with an aldehyde functional group at the end. This indicates that the condensation occurs…
