Answer:
An experiment designed to synthesize dibenzlacetone would have reagents added in the following order:
- Sodium hydroxide, NaOH
- Ethanol
- Acetone
- Benzaldehyde
- Yellow precipitate would be re-crystallized from ethyl acetate.
Explanation:
It is worth noting that the reaction is a type of mixed aldol condensation reaction, which uses sodium hydroxide as base.
I hope this is was a clear solution to the problem.
