उत्तर
CH3CH2CHO
Explanation:
Aldehydes and ketones having at least one α-hydrogen undergo a reaction in the presence of dilute alkali as catalyst to form β-hydroxy aldehydes (aldol) or β-hydroxy ketones (ketol), respectively. This is known as Aldol reaction.
Because of the presence of α-hydrogen, CH3CH2CHO undergoes an aldol reaction.
