Which of the following does not undergo aldol condensation reaction?
- A \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CHO}\)
- B \(\mathrm{ClCH}_{2}-\mathrm{CHO}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\mathrm{CHO}\)
- D \(\mathrm{CHCl}_{2}-\mathrm{CHO}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\mathrm{CHO}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Aldol condensation is a characteristic reaction of aldehyde having \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atom : Benzaldehyde do not contain any \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atom. \(\therefore\) It do not undergoes aldol condensation reaction.
