In the given reation
The number of π bonds present in the product 'P' is _______.
Answer
2
Explanation
Solution
The given reaction is an aldol condensation of cyclohexanone followed by dehydration. The reaction forms 2-cyclohexylidenecyclohexanone. This product contains one C=O double bond and one C=C double bond. Each double bond has one π bond. Therefore, the total number of π bonds in the product is 1 + 1 = 2.
