The compound that CANNOT be obtained from the aldol condensation reaction shown below, is [figure]

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(2) [figure]

Solution

In aldol condensation under basic conditions, elimination of water occurs via the E1cb pathway through an enolate intermediate adjacent to the carbonyl group.

Cross-aldol reaction between 2,2-dimethylcyclopentanone and benzaldehyde gives, after dehydration, the conjugated benzylidene enone, obtained as its two geometrical isomers (1) and (3).

Self-aldol condensation followed by dehydration towards the -position gives conjugated enone (4).

Compound (2) requires dehydration into the non-enolisable, unconjugated ring position, which cannot proceed via E1cb and lacks conjugation stability. Hence, (2) cannot be obtained.
