The pKa of our product is ~ 2-3 units lower than the pKa of phenol. Draw all possible resonance structures of the conjugate base of the product, and use these to explain why our product is so much more acidic than phenol.
One of the heptanedione isomers below has a pka of approximately 9 rather than 20. Which isomer? Why? Draw its conjugate base and offer a full explanation of its acidity.
Treatment of indene with NaNH2 forms its conjugate base in a Brønsted– Lowry acid–base reaction. Draw all reasonable resonance structures for indene's conjugate base, and explain why the pKa of indene is lower than the pKa of most hydrocarbons.
