This is the answer to chapter 17, problem number 17, from the smith organic chemistry textbook.
00:10
And this problem asks us to rank these three compounds in order of increasing acidity.
00:17
And so actually, they're already in order of increasing acidity.
00:24
But to actually make that determination, we need to look at what their conjugate bases are going to look like.
00:31
And so if we draw the conjugate base of the first one here, we'll have a negative charge there.
00:45
There's no resonance structures.
00:49
And so that's not going to be particularly stable.
00:52
If we draw the conjugate base of the second molecule and put the charge in the same place, we can see that it's allelic.
01:03
And so it is resonant stabilized...
