Image
  Statement  Aldol condensation  as an organic reaction in which an enolate ion reacts with a carbonyl compound to form β-hydroxy aldehyde or β-hydroxy ketone, followed by dehydration to gives a conjugated enone. Example Reaction:      Acetaldehyde involved in a self condensation reaction in presence of weak base like Dil.NaOH to form beta-hydroxy butyraldehyde, followed by dehydration forms crotanaldehyde.
