Document Summary
Organic acids and bases hydrogens of carbonyl compounds. This document has been written to provide you with an overview of the fundamental concepts of organic acid-base chemistry. Many organic compounds have not been included such as the basicity of pyrrole or the acidity of generally covered in the second and third organic chemistry courses. Acid-base reactions are the first step in understanding why reactions between organic molecules occur. In this section you will learn why an acid or base is stronger or weaker than another. You will not be asked to memorize the dissociation constants but understand the trends that we see in acids and bases. This is a fundamental concept that will help you understand organic chemistry. This section can be difficult for some students because there is no set order to memorize, you must understand the concepts, look at the molecules of concern and understand the differences in the molecule and then make your decision.
