The major product formed in the following reaction is:
Chemical properties of aldehydes and ketones -
Undergo nucleophilic addition reactions at carbon-oxygen double bond, hybridization of carbon changes from sp2 to sp3. Aldehydes are more reactive than ketones due to steric hindrance and +I effect of an alkyl group.
-
Alcohol formation by reduction of Ketones -
Yields secondary alcohol
- wherein
It is cross Aldol condensation
