Introduction We have seen the relationship between pKa, pKb, and pKsolv in Acid-Base VIII. We have also seen that acids and bases can have different strength … More Acid-Base X. Levelling Effect
A lot of organic reactions aren’t obvious that they are actually acid-base reactions. Here, we look at an example and talk about how to see it as an acid-base reaction. … More Acid-Base VI. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 2
We can use pKa to predict the course of a reaction. Here we use the deprotonation of acetylene with different bases and predict whether or not the reaction will take place by only using pKa values. … More Acid-Base V. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 1
We can use pKa to predict the course of a reaction. Here we use the deprotonation of acetylene with different bases and predict whether or not the reaction will take place by only using pKa values. … More Acid-Base IV. Factors Affecting the Acidity of Organic Compounds
The most useful concept in acid-base theory is the pKa. It is important in organic chemistry as we can use it for many things, shown in the subsequent posts. … More Acid-Base II. What is pKa and Why is It Important?
Acid-base is an important concept in organic chemistry. Let’s recap the basic theory of acid-base. … More Acid-Base I. What are Acids and Bases?
