what base can be used to completely deprotonate the alpha proton of a ketone? A.(CH3)3COK B.CH3ONa C.LDA D.NaOH
answer:
c ) LDA
Lithium diisopropyl amide (LDA) is commonly used to generate enolates. Diisopropylamine has a pKa of 40, so it can completely deprotonate carbonyls (pKa 20- 25).
The crossed aldol can then be done by treating one carbonyl compound with one equivalent of LDA. •
The enolate that is formed can then be reacted with a carbonyl electrophile, such as an aldehyde or ester.
Protonation is done in a second step, since the LDA reaction is not in the presence of a protic solvent.

What bases are commonly used to deprotonate alpha carbons
Question 4 The base used to deprotonate diethyl malonate is always ethoxide. The base should be the same as the leaving group on the ester. What would happen if hydroxide was used instead? O Nothing, hydroxide is not a strong enough base to deprotonate diethyl malonate O Hydroxide could also act as a nucleophile and do a saponification reaction on the ester O The decarboxylation step would not work with hydroxide Question 5
Our instructor said that if the pKa is >16 a reagent should
completely deprotonate an alkylthiol. But he also said the pKa
difference has to be at least 5, preferably 10, to completely
deprotonate.
I'm not sure what pKa to use for some of these since they're
sodium based-NaCN in particular. (And the pKa for a generic
alkylthiol.
I think these are right:
H20=15.8 so no.
NH3=38 so yes
NaNH2=38 so yes
NaO2CCH3=24 so yes (?) its the conjugate base...

OH to CH3 R R CEN сн. For reaction of an aldehyde or ketone to form a cyanohydrin (section 21.9 of the textbook), which of the following statements are true? Select all correct answers. The yield of this reaction is typically high. This can be carried out by reaction of "CN followed by aqueous workup (H*/H20). This can be carried out by reaction of the ketone with HCN. The product reverses back to starting materials upon treatment with base. The...
