Question

In the given compound which of the following hydrogens is most acidic? underset(a)CH3 - underset(b)CH2 - overset underset||OC - underset(c)CH3 (A) Only [a] (B) Only [b] (C) Only [c] (D) Both [b] and [c]

undersetaCH3 - undersetbCH2 - overset underset||OC - undersetcCH3 This compound undergoes embolization by the following mechanism ->[H2O][-H+]CH3 -CH = overset underset|OHC-CH3 Thus, hydrogen [b] is most acidic as it is attached with the active methylene group.

Q. In the given compound which of the following hydrogens is most acidic?
$(a) C H_{3} - (b) C H_{2} - C ∣∣ O - (c) C H_{3}$

Only [a]

Only [b]

Only [c]

Both [b] and [c]

$a C H_{3} - b C H_{2} - C ∣∣ O - c C H_{3}$ This compound undergoes embolization by the following mechanism
$H_{2} O - H^{+} C H_{3} - C H = C ∣ O H - C H_{3}$ Thus, hydrogen [b] is most acidic as it is attached with the active methylene group.
