Draw the structure of the major aldol product (prior to possible dehydration) of the following reaction.

Transcribed Image Text:**Instruction:**
Draw the structure of the major aldol product (prior to possible dehydration) of the following reaction.
**Chemical Reaction:**
- Reactant: Benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO)
- Reagent: Dilute NaOH
- Solvent: 95% aqueous ethanol
- Temperature: 0–5°C
**Notes:**
- You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
- If no reaction occurs, draw the organic starting material.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram area is an empty workspace with drawing tools available at the top. These tools include options for drawing bonds, rings, and structures, which can be used to sketch the chemical structures.
