Vedclass · Answer

(C) Aldol condensation is a reaction given by aldehydes or ketones that contain at least one $\alpha-$ hydrogen atom. In the molecule $(CH_3)_3CCHO$ ($2$,$2$-dimethylpropanal),the carbonyl carbon is attached to a tertiary butyl group $(CH_3)_3C-$. There is no hydrogen atom attached to the $\alpha-$ carbon (the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group). Due to the absence of $\alpha-$ hydrogen atoms,it cannot form an enolate ion,and therefore,it does not undergo aldol condensation.

Column-$1$ (Reaction)	Column-$2$ (Product)
$A$. Benzaldehyde + $Zn-Hg/HCl$	$I$. Cyclohexanol
$B$. Benzoyl chloride + $H_2/Pd-BaSO_4$	$II$. Benzyl alcohol
$C$. Cyclohexanone + $NH_2NH_2/KOH$	$III$. Toluene
	$IV$. Benzaldehyde
	$V$. Cyclohexane
