After browsing and reading through my notes and handouts for this particular lab, it came to me that perhaps this could be a Cross-Coupled (Claisen-Schmidt) type of reaction.
I do have an aromatic aldehyde, and a keton (acetone).
My reworked reaction:
Now, the thing is I'm having some trouble drawing the actual product from this reaction.
The general idea seems to be a repetative reaction here, if I have understood correctly that is?
The first product from the above reaction should be somewhat near half of the desired molecule, then the reaction repeats whereupon another Cinnamaldehyde-molecule bonds to the 2nd (deprotonated alfa-H) position.
What happens with the two aldehyde-oxygens? Is the loss of this considered the actual "condensation", or does that refer to the first formation of H2O in step one?
