FSc Chemistry Book2, CH 12, LEC 11: Acidity of alpha-Hydrogen Carbonyl Compounds

2014-10-02 2

This video lecture from Aldehydes and Ketones (F.Sc. second year Chemistry) covers the acidity of compounds containing alpha hydrogen atoms because of the fact that the removal of alpha hydrogen yields two resonance structures (keto- and enol-) which stabilize the system making the substrate more acidic in nature. The acidity is employed while doing condensation reactions. Find more e-learning material and educational video lectures in Urdu at maktab.pk.
