Chapter 6 Practice

Use electron-pushing arrows to show the electron flow in the following acid-base reactions:

Deprotonation of an aldehyde could occur by reaction at different C-H bonds. Draw two different anions (conjugate bases) that could result from the following reaction. Predict which seems more likely.

Protonation of an ester could occur by reaction at different oxygen atoms. Draw two different cations (conjugate acids) that could result from the following reaction. Predict which seems more likely.
