Respuesta :
The compound does not undergo an aldol addition reaction in presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide is 2, 2-dimethylbutanal.
What is aldol reaction?
The Aldol Reaction occurs when the enolate of an aldehyde or ketone combines with the carbonyl of another molecule at the aplha-carbon under basic or acidic circumstances to produce beta-hydroxy aldehyde or ketone.
For the formation of enolate ion, compound should contain alpha hydrogen in it and among the given compound only 2, 2-dimethylbutanal will not have alpha hydrogens.
- Butanal, 2-methylbutanal and 3-methylpentanal will have aplha hydrogens in it so that it takes part in the aldol reaction.
Hence 2, 2-dimethylbutanal does not undergo an aldol addition reaction.
