Carbonyl compounds can be protonated on the carbonyl oxygen. Protonation of the carbonyl oxygen gives a species whose positive charge is delocalized by resonance. Explain why acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is more readily protonated than acetone (propanone).
Provide an explanation (in detail) on how base catalysts speed up nucleophilic reactions of carbonyl compounds.
Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile.
