A research student is trying to deprotonate A with t-butyllithium (shown above the arrow) which is a strong base to make anion B, however this desireddeprotonation was not successful. Which of the following statements explains why the reaction failed?Li(CH3)2CHOH (solvent)AO t-butyl lithium is not a strong enough base to deprotonate AO the proton the student is trying to remove is not the most acidic proton in AO A will deprotonate the t-butyl lithium, rather than the other way aroundThe active base in solution will be (CH3)2CHO` which is not a strong enough base to deprotonate A

Deprotonation means the removal of most acidic proton. The species formed is conjugate base of that…
