NEET 2022 Chemistry Reactions of Carbonyl Compounds MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
Which one of the following is NOT formed when acetone reacts with²⁻pentanone in the presence of dilute NaOH followed by heating?
A
CH₃C(CH₃)=CH₂
B
CH₃C(CH₃)=CHCH₃
C
H₃CCH=C(CH₃)₂
D
CH₃C(CH₃)=CHCH₂CH₃
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The reaction between acetone and²⁻pentanone in the presence of dilute NaOH is an aldol condensation. The product formed should have a double bond between the alpha carbon of one molecule and the carbonyl carbon of the other. Option D does not fit this pattern.
