Which one of the following compounds would not undergo Aldol condensation?
- A 2,2-Dimethyl butanal
- B 2- Methyl pentanal
- C 1- Phenyl propanone.
- D Phenyl ethanal
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2,2-Dimethyl butanal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Aldol condensation requires the presence of at least one \(\alpha\)-hydrogen atom in the carbonyl compound. An \(\alpha\)-hydrogen is a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group. Analyzing the structures: 1. 2,2-Dimethylbutanal: The structure is…
