$C-2$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The acidity of $\alpha$-hydrogens in aldehydes and ketones is due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the carbonyl group $(C=O)$,which stabilizes the resulting conjugate base (enolate ion) through resonance.In the given molecule,$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CHO$,the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group $(C=O)$ is the $\alpha$-carbon.The carbon labeled as $C-2$ is the $\alpha$-carbon,as it is directly attached to the carbonyl carbon $(C-1)$.Therefore,the hydrogen atoms bonded to $C-2$ are the most acidic.

The hydrogen atom bonded to the carbon designated by which number in $\stackrel{4}{C}H_3-\stackrel{3}{C}H_2-\stackrel{2}{C}H_2-\stackrel{1}{C}HO$ is most acidic?
