Aldol condensation, an Uncommon card
An aldol condensation is a condensation reaction in organic chemistry in which two carbonyl moieties react to form a β-hydroxyaldehyde or β-hydroxyketone, and this is then followed by dehydration to give a conjugated enone.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The overall reaction equation is as follows Aldol condensations are important in organic synthesis and biochemistry as ways to form carbon–carbon bonds.
- In its usual form, it involves the nucleophilic addition of a ketone enolate to an aldehyde to form a β-hydroxy ketone, or aldol, a structural unit found in many naturally occurring molecules and pharmaceuticals.
- The term aldol condensation is also commonly used, especially in biochemistry, to refer to just the first stage of the process, the aldol reaction itself, as catalyzed by aldolases.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Aldol condensation article was read about 47,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Aldol condensation
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
