Aldehydes and ketones with α-hydrogen atom, when reacted with a base yields aldol which on heating loses water molecule to give α , β-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones. This reaction is called aldol condensation reaction.

Q. Acetophenone when reacted with a base, $C_{2} H_{5} ON a$ , yields a stable compound which has the structure

Aldehydes and ketones with $α$ -hydrogen atom, when reacted with a base yields aldol which on heating loses water molecule to give $α, β$ -unsaturated aldehydes or ketones.
This reaction is called aldol condensation reaction.
