The benzoin condensation is a fundamental reaction in organic chemistry that involves the formation of a carbon-carbon bond between two aldehyde molecules to yield a hydroxyketone known as benzoin. This reaction is widely studied because it serves as a key example of nucleophile-catalyzed condensation and illustrates important concepts in reaction mechanisms, including nucleophilic addition, electron … Read more
