Some of the following molecules can be synthesized in good yield using an aldol condensation (or an aldol addition followed by a dehydration). Identify these and give the structures of the required starting materials. Others cannot be synthesized in good yield by an aldol condensation. Identify these, and explain why the required aldol condensation would not be likely to succeed.
