for the theroretical yield is the mol correct? also using the aldol condensation reaction  in this portion are we using the aldol condensation reaction to synthesize acetophenone and para-methybenzaldehye.  acetophenone 0.5 g, 4.2 mmol Para-methylbenzaldehyde 0.5 g, 4.2 mmol NaOH=0.18g = 4.5 mol Theroretical yield=0.93g =0.0519 mol Percent yield=76.8% Actual yield= 0.715 g Melting point observered= 93 degree Celsius Expected melting point =93-94.5 degree Celsius

QUESTION 12 Consider the following crossed aldol condensation. Which statement explains why a single cross condensation product is formed? 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone 0 H₂C H₂C H NOCH₂CH₂ ethanol CH₂ CH₂ benzaldehyde O 2.2-Dimethylcyclohexanone has only one alpha carbon which can form an enolate. O Benzaldehyde has no hydrogens attached to the alpha carbon which eliminates the self-condenatation reaction. O 22-Dimethylcyclohexanone is sterically hindered which limits the self-condenstation reaction. All of the above.

Now, what if the reaction were run under neutral conditions (with a little heat added to make sure the reaction occurs at good rate)? Click on the first intermediate that would be generated. methanol CI 0-H OH CI ÓMe ÓMe ÓMe

What products form in this reac
