Solution 1
\[\ce{\underset{Ethanal}{2CH3CHO}->[(i) dil.NaOH][(ii) H+, \Delta]\underset{But-2-enal}{CH3CH = CHCHO}}\]
Solution 2
\[\ce{\underset{Ethanal}{2CH3CHO}->[dil.NaOH][Aldol condensation]\underset{Hydroxybutanal}{\overset{4}{C}H3 - \overset{3}{C}HOH - \overset{2}{C}H2 - \overset{1}{C}HO}->[H3O+/\Delta][-H2O]\underset{But-2-enal}{CH3 - CH = CH - CHO}}\]
