Question:

When acetaldehyde is treated with aqueous acid, an aldol reaction can occur. In other words, aldol reactions can also occur in acidic conditions, although the intermediate is different than the intermediate involved in the base-catalyzed reaction. Draw a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed process.
