Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2025 · 4 April, Shift 1

Aldol condensation is a popular and classical method to prepare α,β\alpha, \beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. This reaction can be both intermolecular and intramolecular. Predict which one of the following is not a product of intramolecular aldol condensation?

Four carbonyl compounds labeled 1 to 4 are shown: fused bicyclic enone, indanone-type enone, cyclohex-2-en-1-one, and a benzofused ketone with exocyclic methylene.
  • A

    A bicyclic fused enone — an octahydronaphthalenone whose C=C\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{C} lies at the ring fusion and is conjugated with the C=O\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}

  • B

    1H1H-Inden-1-one (indenone) — a benzene ring fused to a cyclopentenone

  • C

    Cyclohex-2-en-1-one

  • D

    2-Methylene-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H2H)-one — 1-tetralone carrying an exocyclic =CH2=\mathrm{CH}_{2} at the α\alpha-carbon
