Citrate synthase catalyzes the condensation of acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate in the first step of the citric acid cycle. The thioester in acetyl CoA can form an enolate and undergo an Aldol reaction with the oxaloacetate. For the reaction shown below select the correct Aldol product. \( \stackrel{\mathrm{OH}}{\longrightarrow} \) Product acetyl CoA Oxaloacetate Select one: A B
