Explain why we perform a "self-condensation" here. what would happen if we used one molar equivalent of ethylphenylacetate and one molar equivalent of methylphenylacetate?

 Self-condensation is a natural response in which a synthetic compound containing a carbonyl gathering acts both as the electrophile and the nucleophile in an aldol condensation. A condensation response in which two of a similar atom are consolidated. This aldol condensation is a self-condensation response since two particles of CH3)2CO consolidate to frame the item. This blended Claisen buildup is not a self-condensation response in light of the fact that the two ester reactants are not indistinguishable.

What are the options? physical property can be color, smell, opacity, viscosity, density, infra red spectrum, melting and boiling points, attraction and repulson to magnets, etc.

Are there any options that could alot..
