Of the following, which is the product formed when cyclohexanone undergoes aldol condensation followed by heating?
Explanation
Aldol product dehydrates on heating to an $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated ketone.
Detailed Solution
Two molecules of cyclohexanone undergo aldol addition in the presence of $OH^-$; on heating, dehydration gives the $\alpha,\beta$-unsaturated ketone.
So the product is 2-cyclohexylidenecyclohexanone (two rings joined by a C=C double bond, with C=O on the ring carbon adjacent to it).
So the product is 2-cyclohexylidenecyclohexanone (two rings joined by a C=C double bond, with C=O on the ring carbon adjacent to it).
