3. condensation reaction is the combination of two
molecules to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of
a small molecule such as water.

4. Aldol condensation occurs in aldehydes having α-
hydrogen with a dilute base to give β-hydroxy
aldehydes called aldols. This reaction is most commonly
known as aldol condensation. If the condensation reaction
occurs between two different carbonyl compounds it is
called crossed aldol condensation.
An aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in
organic chemistry in which an enol or an enolate ion reacts
with a carbonyl compound to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or
β-hydroxyketone, followed by dehydration to give a
conjugated enone.

11. The condensation reaction between two different molecules of
an aldehyde or ketone in a protic solvent such as water or alcohol
constitutes the crossed aldol reaction. When condensation is
between two different carbonyl compounds, it is called crossed aldol
condensation.

12. The Cannizzaro reaction, named after its discoverer Stanislao Cannizzaro, is
a chemical reaction that involves the base-induced disproportionation of two
molecules of a non-enolizable aldehyde to give a primary alcohol and
a carboxylic acid.

13. Mechanism Step 1
A nucleophile such as a hydroxide ion is used to attack the carbonyl group of the given aldehyde,
causing a disproportionation reaction and giving rise to an anion carrying 2 negative charges.

14. Mechanism Step 2
This resulting intermediate can now function as a hydride reducing
agent. Due to its unstable nature, the intermediate releases a
hydride anion. This hydride anion proceeds to attack another
aldehyde molecule. Now, the doubly charged anion is converted into
a carboxylate anion and the aldehyde is converted into an alkoxide
anion.

15. Mechanism Step 3
In this final step, water offers a proton to the alkoxide anion which
gives rise to the final alcohol product. The reaction can proceed
since the alkoxide is more basic than water. Now, the carboxylate
ion gives rise to the final carboxylic acid product when acid workup
is used (the acid workup is required since carboxylate is less basic
than water and therefore cannot obtain a proton from water).

17. Aldehydes with alpha hydrogen atoms undergo deprotonation due to the
strongly alkaline conditions of the reaction, leading to enolates and/or aldol
reactions of these enolates were beta-hydroxy aldehydes or ketones are
obtained.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the reaction produces only 50% of the
required alcohol and carboxylic acid at ideal conditions.
This is why the crossed Cannizzaro reaction is more commonly used.
A sacrificial aldehyde is combined with a more valuable chemical and
formaldehyde is used as a reductant, oxidizing it to sodium formate.
The required alcohol is obtained from the reduction of the other aldehyde
chemical.
Since 2 different aldehydes can be completely converted into the required
product, the yield of the valuable chemical is increased.

19. Benzoin condensation reaction can be defined as the reaction
between two kinds of aromatic aldehydes especially benzaldehyde,
in the presence of some catalyst (either nucleophile or heterocyclic)
to form an aromatic parent compound.
Condensation reactions are mainly used to create carbon to carbon
bonds, polymers, new monomers, production of polypeptides, etc.
The benzoin condensation reaction is nothing but the coupling
reaction that occurs between aldehydes for the formation of parent
benzoin. In this case, the benzaldehyde is involved in this
homocoupling process.

24. The Perkin reaction is an organic reaction developed
by English chemist William Henry Perkin that is used to make cinnamic acids. It
gives an α,β-unsaturated aromatic acid by the aldol condensation of
an aromatic aldehyde and an acid anhydride, in the presence of an alkali salt of
the acid. The alkali salt acts as a base catalyst, and other bases can be used
instead.
One notable application for the Perkin reaction is in the laboratory synthesis of
the phytoestrogenic stilbene resveratrol.
