  • The C-H bonds on the alpha carbons of ketones are unusually acidic (the pK a of the simplest ketone, 2-propanone, is about 19 in water [ Note 2 for ref ] a) because the negative charge resulting from deprotonation can be delocalized through resonance to the oxygen atom, which due to its higher electronegativity is superior at stabilizing negative charge.
