Question:

Analyze the aldol condensation in Eq. 22.53 using the method given in Eq. 22.54. Show that four possible aldol condensation products might in principle result from the starting material. Explain why the observed product is the most reasonable one.CHCHCCH3 O H3C- -SO3H (acid catalyst) CH CH Ca CH + HO (22.53)
