Concept explainers
Interpretation: To write the aldol condensation product of cyclohexanone.
Concept introduction: Aldol reaction is a reversible reaction and occurs in the presence of a strong base like sodium hydroxide. One molecule (aldehyde or ketone) acts a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon center of the other molecule to give the addition product. The product is named
