Question

Which of the following compounds will undergo self aldol condensation in the presence of cold dilute alkali?

A. $$CH \equiv C - CHO$$
B. $$HCHO$$
C. $${C_6}{H_5}CHO$$
D. $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$  
Answer :   $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$
Solution :
Since $$C{H_3}C{H_2}CHO$$    has $$\alpha $$ - hydrogen atom, therefore it will undergo aldol condensation in the presence of cold dilute alkali.
