Question

The following aldol reaction can produce 4 products. Select the structure that is not a possible product of the following reaction. (5 points) NaOH H но ОН ОН ОН ОН Н" о НО B D E

Answer 1

The answer is explained in the images given. The product structure that is not a possible product is the option E.
NaOH + H H (v) In Aldol H₂O. reaction first enolate will be genearted from the aldehydes given by do proton abstraction pot 7 ol H (7) enolate can react with (II) aldehyde 0 1 H 1420 Product B (1) enolate can reach with aldehyde (IV) H. 14 Product A HO cut onolata

(1) and late can read with aldehyde all thi 3 120 produto with aldehyde (L) and late can reach 1) .id H product - so, all possible products are A, B, C, D. Therefore the structure that nok possible product of The reaction is -E. (This is evident from the mechanism),
