General Organic Chemistry (GOC) · Class 11 · JEE Main Previous Year Question
Which of the following has highly acidic hydrogen?
- a
Structure - a
- b
Structure - b
- c
Structure - c
- d✓
Structure - d
Structure - d
Step 1: Analyzing Acidic Hydrogens in Ketones
Acidity depends on the resonance stabilization of the conjugate base (enolate ion).
Step 2: Determining Maximum Acidity
The enolate formed in structure (d) is stabilized by resonance with two adjacent groups, making these hydrogens highly acidic
().
