The reactants are cyclopentanone and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde

In the mechanism for the double adol condensation of (2E,5E)-2,5-bis(4-methoxybenzylidene)cyclopenanone using hydroxide as the base, does hydroxide act as a true catalyst? why?

    Organic Chemistry 2 Experimental Outline In its simplest form, the aldol condensation is a self-addition involving two molecules of the same aldehyde or ketone, in the presence of a base, and results in the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond joining the carbonyl carbon of one molecule to the a-position of the second. In many cases - if the reaction conditions aren't sufficiently mild - the initially formed aldol product reacts further in an elimination reaction to give what is...

    Microscale techniques: In today's experiment we will be using very small amounts of chemical reactants. This method is generally less expensive and more environmentally-friendly than traditional "test tube" chemistry. Some of the waste products produced in today's experiment, particularly those containing lead and barium, are harmful to the environment. By using such small amounts of chemical reactants we generate far less waste than by using larger scale methods. Procedure 1. Put on your safety goggles. Be sure to wear them...

B. Mixing the reagents Using the plastic funnel, introduce 0.60-0.70 g of 4-t-butylcyclohexanol into a large, clean, dry test tube. Then add 10 drops of concentrated phosphoric acid, 3 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid and a pebble to moderate boiling....
