However, I suspect that the landlord copied the wrong question. If the product on the horizontal line is changed to benzaldehyde ph-CHO, it is a typical hydroxyl "ketone" condensation (a variant of aldol condensation), and the product is γ-hydroxyl-γ-phenyl-propionyl benzene, which is finally dehydrated to form 1, 3- diphenyl-propane -2- ene -65438.
