Equilibrium Amounts For aldehydes and ketones,the keto form is greatly favored at equilibrium. An enantiomer with an enolizable enolizable hydrogens CH: CH CH, H+orOH -a carbons (R)configuration enol (achiral) (S)configuration Copyright 2005 Pearson Prentice Hall,Inc
Equilibrium Amounts ◼For aldehydes and ketones, the keto form is greatly favored at equilibrium. ◼An enantiomer with an enolizable hydrogen can form a racemic mixture
Acidity of a-Hydrogens p for a-H of aldehyde or ketone ~20. Much more acidic than alkane or alkene(pK>40)or alkyne (pK =25). Less acidic than water (p=15.7)or alcohol (p 16-19). In the presence of hydroxide or alkoxide ions,only a small amount of enolate ion is present at equilibrium
