Q. How many aldols are formed when acetaldehyde and propanaldehyde undergo aldol condensation?

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

$CH _{3} CHO + CH _{3} CH _{2} CHO \longrightarrow CH _{3}- CH _{2}- \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{CH} - CH _{2} CHO$

$CH _{3}- \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{CH} - CH _{2} CH _{2} CHO + CH _{3}- \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{CH} - CH _{2} CHO + CH _{3} CH _{2}- \underset{\underset{OH}{|}}{CH} - CH _{2} CH _{2} CHO$
