In organic chemistry, enolates are organic anions derived from the deprotonation of carbonyl (RR'C=O) compounds. Rarely isolated, they are widely used as reagents in the synthesis of …

Aug 16, 2022 · Enolates can be formed through removing the proton on carbons adjacent to a carbonyl (i.e. the “ alpha-carbon “). The resulting anions are much more stable than typical …

The last major class of reactions involves C-C bond formation that proceeds through an intermediate known as an enolate. An enolate is simply a deprotonated enol, which is itself a …

Apr 16, 2025 · Enolates are reactive intermediates in organic chemistry that play a central role in forming carbon–carbon bonds. They are formed by deprotonating the α-hydrogen of carbonyl …

Enolates, or oxyallyl anions, are versatile reagents for the formation of α-substituted carbonyl compounds and are therefore important intermediates for the synthesis of complex molecules.

Ketones and aldehydes are two very important types of organic compounds. This article will focus on enols and enolates, which are two closely related forms that give ketones and aldehydes …

Enolates are resonance-stabilized anions that play a crucial role in organic chemistry as versatile nucleophiles. Understanding their formation, reactions, and applications is essential for …

Apr 22, 2024 · One of the main characteristics of the carbonyl group is that the hydrogens adjacent to the carbonyl carbon are acidic and can react with certain bases. If this occurs, the …

Since the negative charge of an enolate anion is delocalized over the alpha-carbon and the oxygen, as shown earlier, electrophiles may bond to either atom. Reactants having two or …

Aug 19, 2022 · This review covers various methods for enolate formation, and has data on the composition of various ketone-enolate mixtures formed under kinetic and thermodynamic …
