This reaction can be seen as an acid-base reaction.<\/li><li>The aldehyde is attacked at the electrophilic carbonyl carbon by the nucleophilic enolate ion. This attack is a nucleophilic addition reaction and gives alkoxide intermediate.<\/li><li>The alkoxide deprotonates water molecule, thereby producing hydroxide and the \u03b2\u2013hydroxy aldehyde.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which reference books can be followed to prepare for aldol condensation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For studying aldol condensation one can follow the NCERT chemistry textbook part-2 for class 12. The chapter named \u2018Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic acids\u2019 in this book contains this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is crossed aldol condensation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Crossed aldol condensation is a variation of aldol condensation in which two dissimilar carbonyl compounds (each containing alpha hydrogens) undergo the condensation reaction together. In such reactions, up to four different products may be formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Aldox process?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aldox process is an industrial variation of the aldol condensation reaction for the direct conversion of syngas and propene into 2-ethyl hexanol. This product is formed via the hydroformylation of the reactants into butyraldehyde, its subsequent aldol condensation into 2-ethyl hexenal, and the hydrogenation of this intermediate into 2-ethyl hexanol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is aldol condensation?
