Chapter 10, Problem 10.46P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether diazomethane is expected to react with a compound of formula C6H12O2 with pKa = 25, is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Diazomethane is a weak base that reacts only with moderately acidic species specifically carboxylic acids. The rate-determining step in this reaction is a proton transfer to diazomethane. Therefore, the reaction becomes unfavorable as the pKa value of the acidic species increases.
