Question

Consider the following reaction.  Use this reaction to answer the following questions.
-The product of this reaction is ______.
A) a $\beta$, $\gamma$-unsaturated aldehyde 
B) an $\alpha$, $\beta$-unsaturated ketone 
C) an $\alpha$, $\beta$-unsaturated aldehyde 
D) an enol

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction shows that the starting material, which is an aldehyde, reacts with a compound containing a double bond (likely an alkene) in the presence of a catalyst (H2SO4) to form an unsaturated compound containing both an alpha and beta position. The only choice that fits this description is C, an alpha-beta-unsaturated aldehyde. The other choices either do not fit the description or are not present in the reaction.
