Because only one carbonyl group is available to participate in resonance stabilization of the enolate, the a-hydrogens are less acidic than those of ẞ-dicarbonyl compounds and so a stronger base is necessary to completely convert the compound to the enolate. The reaction occurs in a polar aprotic solvent such as THF. Compounds such as esters, ketones, and nitriles are commonly alkylated via this procedure. Aldehydes, however, rarely give high yields in this procedure because they tend to undergo carbonyl condensation instead. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions H₂C :0: X CH3 H₂C :0: CH3 ab
