Acidic protons
« on: March 10, 2009, 03:45:59 PM »
So I'm trying to figure out which of these compounds have the least acidic protons? How do I know which ones are more acidic and which are not?

2-butanone, diethyl malonate, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetate? ???

Look into the stability of the anions formed, the least stable will correspond to the least easily lost
