Interpretation:
4-Pyrone on treatment with acid gets protonated on the carbonyl group oxygen to yield a stable product. Why the structure is so stable is to be explained using resonance structures and the Huckel’s (4n+2) rule.
Concept introduction:
A compound to become
To explain:
Using resonance structures and the Huckel’s (4n+2) rule why the protonated product obtained when 4-pyrone reacts with acid is so stable.
