Carbonyls make the adjacent alkyl groups more acidic. However, the presence of electron withdrawing and donating groups may give different effects on the acidity of the alkyl groups adjacent to the carbonyls. CF3 CH, CH, NR2 CH3 CH, CH, OR (1) (2) (3) (4) Arrange the above compounds from low to high acidity (or high to low) by using the symbol "<" or ">" in your answer. (i) (ii) Give a reason for the most acidic compound and least acidic compound identified. O=U O=U
