If an aldol reaction does not use an acid to proceed, you might call it based catalyzed even, then why do you need to add HCl.

The crossed aldol reaction shown here can be carried out using a weak base such as pyridine. (a) Draw the complete, detailed mechanism for this reaction. (b) Explain why a relatively weak base can be used. EtO OEt H EtO OEt H. Diethyl malonate

Do you have any clue on this???

Please draw the reaction mechanism of toluene and acetyl chloride including arrows.

for the aldo reaction which one is better with solvent or without a solvent?   part a used NaoH, benzaldehyde, Acetone, and part b used aceophene, para-methylbenzaldehyde, and NaoH
