Enolates major resonance contributor

Write the structure of the enolate derived from each of the following. Give the three major resonance contributors of each enolate. [Pg.871]

Examine the geometry and electrostatic potential map for acetone enolate. Are the CC and CO bonds in the enolate more similar to those in acetone or propen-2-ol precursors Is the negative charge primarily located on oxygen or on carbon Assuming this enolate is a hybrid of the two resonance contributors as shown above, which, if either, appears to be the major contributor ... [Pg.162]

We encountered enols earlier as intermediates in the hydration of alkynes (see Mechanism 9.2). Enolates, represented as a hybrid of the resonance structures shown, are the conjugate bases of enols. The major enolate contributor is the structure with the negative charge on oxygen. It is, however, the carbanionic character of the a carbon that is responsible for the importance of enolates in organic synthesis, and we will sometimes write the enolate in the form that has the negative charge on carbon to emphasize this. [Pg.867]
