If we react a NON-aryl aldehyde and with a ketone, what happens? For example, if we use acetone and acetaldehyde, which attacks which when both have alpha protons? Thanks!

well if i understand your question correctly your asking what happens when acetone and acetaldehyde undergo aldol condensation reaction? well there are four possible products the acetone can react with itself (1) or react with the acetaldehyde (2). also the acetaldehyde can react with itself (3) or with acetone (4). There is no one right answer all four of those are possible.
