When formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other( aldol condensation) then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.
In organic chemistry, an aldol condensation would be a condensation reaction in which an enol and enolate ion combines with a carbonyl chemical to produce a -hydroxy aldehyde or -hydroxy ketone, that is then dehydrated to produce a conjugated enone.
In aldol condensation, when formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.
It can be written as
[tex]CH_{2} O + CH_{3} COCH_{3}[/tex] → [tex]HOCH_{2} -CH_{2} -CO-CH_{3}[/tex]
When it will be heated then it gives methyl vinyl ketones.
[tex]HOCH_{2} -CH_{2} -CO-CH_{3}[/tex] → [tex]CH_{2} =CH-CO-CH_{3}[/tex]
So, the pair of reactants will be formaldehyde and acetone
