Very General Reaction. • What is needed? • A Ketone or aldehyde • ONE reactant must have a-Hydrogens • Base (NaOH)
NO α-HYDROGENS Very General Reaction. α α α α α α 1. An α-carbon is the carbon directly attached to the C=O 2. Hydrogens attached to these C are called α-hydrogens

What would happen? • Consider carefully • Remember, five and six membered rings are most stable or
Recognizing Aldol Products • Product is a b-hydroxy aldehyde or ketone • Removing the bond between the Cα – Cβ reveals the carbon units that were joined in the aldol condensation
Recognizing Aldol Products • The hydroxy becomes a carbonyl H O H O
How would you make these Compounds by an Aldol Condensation reaction? • a b-hydroxy These are: and aldehyde a β-hydroxy ketone β β
