Aldol Condensation-Dehydration in Organic Chemistry

Описание к видео Aldol Condensation-Dehydration in Organic Chemistry

This tutorial video examines the self aldol condensation of an aldehyde to produce a beta-hydroxyaldehyde. The mechanism is discussed in basic media through formation of an enolate that reacts with an aldehyde. The enolate is the nucleophile and the aldehyde is the electrophile so the new bond that is formed is now the alpha-beta C-C bond. Aldol condensation products can dehydrate by loss of the elements of water across the alpha and beta carbons to give a conjugated aldehyde, called an enal. The reaction holds true for ketones as well.
