    Conversion of benzaldehyde to 3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-oic acid is:

    A)  Perkin condensation

    B)  Claisen condensation

    C)  Oxidative addition

    D)  Aldol condensation

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     (i) Benzaldehyde dofis not undergo aldol condensation as it does not have a-hydrogen atom. (ii) Perkin condensation \[\underset{\text{benzaldehyde}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CHO}}\,\,+\,\underset{\text{acetic}\,\text{anhydride}}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}}CO)}_{2}}O}}\,\xrightarrow[-{{H}_{2}}O,\Delta ]{C{{H}_{3}}COONa}\] \[\underset{3-\text{phenyl}\,\text{prop}\,2-\text{en}\,-1\,\text{oic}\,\text{acid}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}CH=CHCOOH+C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\]
