The aldol condensation of `CH_(3)-CHO` results is the formation of

Options

A. `CH_(3)-underset(O)underset(||)(C)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-CH_(3)`
B. `CH_(3)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-CH_(2)-underset(O)underset(||)(CH)`
C. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)-underset(OH)underset(|)(CH)-underset(O)underset(||)(CH)`
D. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)OH+CH_(3)OH`

Answer

B

Explanation

Two molecules of acetaldehyde gives aldol on aldol condensation.
`underset("acetaldehyde")(2CH_(3)CHO) overset(OH^(oplus))to CH_(3)-underset("adol")(underset(OH)underset(|)(CH))-CH_(2)-CHO`
