Butanone draw both enolates formed when the ketone is treated with base. include charges. draw the oxyanion species; do not draw
carbanion resonance forms.
1 answer:
This is an example of deprotonation of Asymmetric Ketones. In this case two products are possible.
Thermodynamic Product:
It gives highly substituted enolate, has greater transition energy to cross and has lower product energy.
Kinetic Product:
It gives less substituted enolate, the proton is accessible and easily removed and has less transition energy, and higher product energy compared to thermodynamic product.
