A strong base can abstract an α -hydrogen from

A strong base can abstract an α\alpha-hydrogen from

Options

  1. Aalkene
  2. Bamine
  3. Cketone
  4. Dalkane

Correct answer

C. ketone

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea : The carbon which is more electrophilic in nature, loses an α−H\alpha-\mathrm{H} with a base more readily. Among the given compounds, carbonyl carbon (>C=O>\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}) ie, ketone is more electrophilic in nature, thus loses an α−H\alpha-\mathrm{H} with a base ege g, in aldol condensation reaction α\alpha-hydrogen atom of aldehyde or ketone is abstracted by a strong base.
