In an aldol reaction, what two molecules are condensed to produce PhCH=CHCOPh?

first break C=C bond....you can tell from the product whats driving this rxn..this an adol reaction (has a special name) so you should be able to figure out which starting reagents are needed

In aldol condensation,
Breaking C=C, And add O and H respectively!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldol_condensation
PhCH = CHCOPh = PhCH=O + CH2COPh
PhCH2 + O = CHCOPh (not feasible!)
Is it simple? I am not teaching you to get the answer, but what important is you should know the mechanism first, then all things are easy!
