Chapter 21.3, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The increasing order of acidity for the labeled CH2 protons is to be shown.

Concept Introduction: The most acidic hydrogen (H) atom or proton is the one which can be easily eliminated from the molecule. In case of carbonyl group, the CH bond that is present on the αcarbon atom of carbonyl group is highly acidic as compared to sp3 hybridized carbon-hydrogen bonds due to the formation of resonance stabilized enolate.
