can anyone help me regarding organic chemistry in carbonyl compounds?

ISHAN M asked:
please can anyone give me the details of all the reactions regarding enolate ions. all condensation reactions of the carbonyl compounds with mechanisms and conditions in which reactions should take place and the effluents and solvents used etc. all the details. please urgent.

Your question is very broad…the attached website provides some basic carbonyl rules and basic mechanisms…

Well, for what you are asking at least a book is needed! There are so many reaction of enolate anions and it would be difficult to expone them all with their own mechanisms here.
All I can do is to add a link where you can find the mechanisms of almost all known organic reactions searching by the name of the reaction, so you can be considered lucky since almost all the reactions that involve enolate ions are named (Claisen condensation, Knoevenagel reaction, Robinson Annelation and many others…)!!
Hope it helps

The question suggests to me the asker is not confident in knowing the reaction mechanisms. Reaction mechanisms is the most effective way I know of to predict the products of the reactions in question. I find it most effective to use a mechanism based book to learn reaction mechanisms.
Mechanisms are not unique. It is far easier to see the patterns of related reactions. I suggest you consider my book, “The Language of Organic Chemistry”, to learn the mechanisms. You would find most of the reactions you are interested in the chapter on reactions of enolizable carbonyl groups.
