Question

Predict which proton in ascorbic acid is the most acidic.

Identify the appropriate atom by selecting each atom and assigning it a map number of 1 until all atoms are mapped. To do this, right-click on an atom and choose Atom Properties. (Mac users: Use an equivalent for right-clicking.) Then, clear the check mark to enable the Map field before entering a value.

Draw the form of ascorbic acid that is present in the body (aqueous solution, pH = 7.4).

Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds and charges), Atoms, and Templates toolbars, including charges where needed.

Answer 1

Ascorbic acid Most acidic proton. most acidic proton is that which is easily abstracted by base. The intermediate anjon stability is basic reasen for acidity of proton. - The proton shown in above compound is more acidic because after abstraction of that proton the negative charge is created on the oxygen to which this proto is attached. That negative charge is coell stabilized by resonance effect or c= c & also conjugation with czo group as follows: base o-H All so other the protons marked does not proton is have most such stabilization. acidic.
