Aldol Condensation

 

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.

methylcyclohexane conformations

Image
  methylcyclohexane conformations: 1) Methylcyclohexane is cyclohexane in which one hydrogen atom is replaced with a methyl group substituent.  2) Methylcyclohexane can adopt two basic chair conformations:  one in which the methyl group is axial, and one in which it is equatorial .  3) The most stable conformation of methylcyclohexane is the  chair conformation in which the methyl group is equatorial. 4) The alternative chair conformation, in which the methyl group is axial, is 7.3 kJ/mol higher in energy.  5) This difference corresponds to a equatorial:axial conformer ratio of 19:1 at  25 °C.
