To solve this problem, we need to understand the aldol condensation of cyclohexanone.$\newline$Aldol condensation involves the following steps:$\newline$1. Formation of the enolate ion:$\newline$• Cyclohexanone undergoes deprotonation at the alpha carbon to form an enolate ion.$\newline$2. Nucleophilic attack:$\newline$• The enolate ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of another cyclohexanone molecule, forming a beta-hydroxy ketone.$\newline$3. Dehydration:$\newline$
