Dibenzal acetone is also called dibenzylideneacetone. It is an organic compound composed of C, H and O. It is also often abbreviated as dba. It is a pale-yellow solid insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol. It’s a non-polar substance, a symmetrical molecule. Preparation of dibenzal acetone: Two equivalents of benzaldehyde react with one equivalent of acetone in the presence of alkali (NaOH) to give β-hydroxy ketone. Further β-hydroxy ketone undergoes a condensation reaction giving rise to α,β-unsaturated ketone. It […]
