The carbonyl compound that does not undergo aldol condensation is
- A acetone
- B dichloro acetaldehyde
- C trichloro acetaldehyde
- D acetaldehyde
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) trichloro acetaldehyde
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Any carbonyl compound having \(\alpha\)-hydrogen will undergo aldol condensation.
In

there is no \(\alpha\)-hydrogen on trichloro acetaldehyde and hence, it will not show aldol condensation reaction.
