Crossed aldol condensation is a type of aldol condensation reaction in organic chemistry that involves the reaction between two different carbonyl compounds, typically aldehydes or ketones, to form a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound. It is called “crossed” because the reactants are different rather than being identical.
