What is Synthesis of 2.5-Dibenzylidene Cyclopentanone about?
The document describes the production of 2.5-dibenzyalidene cyclopentanone through an aldol reaction between benzaldehyde and cyclopentane. Specifically, benzaldehyde and cyclopentane were mixed with ethanol and sodium hydroxide to produce yellow crystals of the crude product. Recrystallization using ethanol produced light yellow crystals of the pure product. Testing found the crude product had a 98% yield while the pure product had a 94% yield. Both samples had identical retention factors of 0.86 in TLC te
