Also self aldol product of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde
How to get a single crossed aldol product?
1. Treat one of the aldehydes or ketones with -hydrogens with another aldehyde or ketone without -hydrogens.
Commonly used carbonyl compouds without -hydrogens

Of course, these will serve as electrophilic centers

Claisen Condensation IMPORTANT POINTS
PKA OF ALPHA H’S ON ESTER ARE AROUND 24 (RECALL KETONES ARE AROUND 20.
THIS REQUIRES THE USE OF A SLIGHTLYSTRONGER BASE
3. USE ALKOXIDES RO- WHERE R IS SAME AS THE OR OF THE ESTER (RECALL PKA OF ALCOHOLS ARE AROUND 17 TO 18.
