What would the outcome of the reaction be if benzophenone was used in place of the acetone?
The reaction is Benzaldehyde with Benzophenone in an aldol condensation in 1) NaOH in EtOH / 2) Ice bath
Please write the corresponding mechanism.
Thank you.

Postlab Assignment for Minilab 34 “Preparation of Aldol Condensation Products” 1. Explain why benzaldehyde is expected to be the most reactive aldehyde among the three aldehydes used in this experiment. (used benzaldehyde, 4-methylbenzaldehyde, and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde) 2. What is the role of aqueous NaOH used in the experiment you carried out? 3. How would you change the procedures in this experiment if you wished to synthesize benzalacetophenone (C6H5CH=CHCOC6H5). Just indicate the two main organic starting materials. 4. Write a mechanism for...
8. The Aldol condensation reaction can be used to synthesize an ingredient commonly found in commercially available sunscreens. The procedure for this reaction is given below. Benzaldehyde (3.0 mL) and acetone (1.0 mL) are combined in a 25.0 mL round bottom flask. 2.5 M NaOH(aq) (1.4 mL) was then added, and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The resulting precipitate was isolated, and recrystallized using ethanol. The isolated yield of the target product was 2.68 g,...
1) What solvent would be best for aldol condensation of Cinnamaldehyde and Cyclohexanone? a) 95% ethanol b)toluene c)9:1 mixture of ethanol and acetone Why is this solvent the best? 2) What is the product(s) of this reaction? *Show mechanism for double aldol condensation (hydroxide as the base) Thank you in advance for your time :)
Assume during the reaction of aldol condensation (the experiment that you performed in the lab), there is a contamination of acetaldehyde in one of the reagent bottle, predict how many products are going to be formed, show the chemical structure of all the predicted products. Reagent Bottle contains: 2 mL of 3 M NaOH solution, 1.6 mL of 95% EtOH and 0.212 g of benzaldehyde. Acetone is to be added.
Provide the detailed mechanism of the aldol condensation reaction between 2 mols of benzaldehyde and 1 mol of acetone under basic conditions. Show all intermediates and steps for full credit. There are 10 steps to the complete mechanism. Please help me with this one.
