As we shall see in Chapter 19, hydrogens on a carbon
Chapter 4, Problem 4.48(choose chapter or problem)
As we shall see in Chapter 19, hydrogens on a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group are far more acidic than those not adjacent to a carbonyl group. The anion derived from acetone, for example, is more stable than is the anion derived from ethane. Account for the greater stability of the anion from acetone. Acetone pKa 22 O CH3CCH29H Ethane pKa 51 CH3CH2
