Organic Chemistry
The pKa value for cyclohexa-1,3-diene is 44, but the pKa value for cyclohexane is 52. Explain this difference.
Why is indene a stronger acid than indole even though the electronegativity of nitrogen is greater than that of carbon?
Suggest the relative pKa values of the following compounds.
Which of the compounds shown below is much more acidic than the others? Provide a brief explanation for your answer.
