Q. Which of the following will undergo aldol condensation?

IIT JEEIIT JEE 1998Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

All carbonyl compounds containing $\alpha-H$ or $\alpha-D$ undergo aldol condensation. In given example, benzaldehyde does not contain $\alpha-H$ to $-CHO$, hence does not undergo aldol condensation.
