Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Acetone undergoes reaction in presence of Ba(OH)\(_2\) on heating to form 4–Methylpent–3–en–2–one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Acetone (CH\(_3\)COCH\(_3\)) undergoes aldol condensation in the presence of a base like Ba(OH)\(_2\). Two molecules of acetone condense to form diacetone alcohol, which upon heating loses a water molecule to form an \(\alpha,\beta\)-unsaturated ketone. 2 CH\(_3\)COCH\(_3\)…
