The aldol condensation is a reaction that occurs between two aldehyde or ketone molecules. Aldol reactions are reversible â initially producing Î²-hydroxy aldehydes/ketones and then Î±,Î²-unsaturated products after dehydration.
ADDITION & CONDENSATION. The Aldol addition reaction involves the addition of Î±-carbon of an enolizable aldehyde or ketone to the carbonyl group of another aldehyde or ketone and thus by giving a Î²-hydroxy carbonyl compound also known as an aldol (indicating both aldehyde and alcohol groups). The first step in base catalyzed aldol reaction is the abstraction of an Î±-hydrogen from the enolizable carbonyl compound to give a resonance stabilized enolate anion. Usually this step is slow and rate determining. Note: Usually hydroxide ion is used as a base, since it is less basic than the enolate ion.
