Consider a very poorly planned crossed aldol condensation between 2-butanone and 2-pentanone. Four possible different enolates can be formed-two from each ketone. Each of these enolates can attack either a molecule of 2-butanone or a molecule of 2-pentanone. And each resulting dehydrated aldol product can have either an E-or a Z-geometry. How many total crossed aldol products are possible in this nightmare scenario? HINT: Believe it or not, there are 16 possible products! 8 products a plethors of products 4 products 16 products 2 products
