Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reaction is a Claisen-Schmidt condensation (a type of aldol condensation) between a ketone (cyclohexyl methyl ketone) and an ester (ethyl acetate) in the presence of a base $(C_2H_5ONa)$.However,looking at the reactants,this is a cross-aldol condensation between cyclohexyl methyl ketone and ethyl acetate.Actually,the reaction shown is a Claisen condensation between cyclohexyl methyl ketone and ethyl acetate.The base $C_2H_5ONa$ abstracts an $\alpha$-hydrogen from the ketone to form an enolate,which then attacks the carbonyl carbon of the ester.The product $[X]$ is $1$-cyclohexylbutane-$1,3$-dione,which is $CH_3-C(=O)-CH_2-C(=O)-	ext{cyclohexyl}$.

In the given reaction,$[X]$ will be:
