When combined with methyl acetate, the chemical 6-methoxy-2 naphthaldehyde undergoes an aldol addition reaction to produce methyl 3-hydroxy-3-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoate. The aldol addition product undergoes dehydration to create the aldol condensed product, (E)-methyl 3-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)acrylate.

What is aldol condensation reaction?

In an aldol condensation, an enolate ion combines with a carbonyl molecule in the presence of an acid/base catalyst to produce either a hydroxylated aldehyde or ketone, which is then dehydrated to produce a conjugated enone. It is an effective process for creating carbon-carbon bonds.
