How would you describe the reaction between NaOH (a base) and the mixture of benzoic acid and methyl benzoate? Both react with NaOH because bases accept protons Neither react with NaOH because neither has an acidic proton Benzoic acid reacts with NaOH because it has an acidic proton, but methylbenzoate does not Methyl benzoate reacts with NaOH because it has an acidic proton, but benzoic acid does not

As we shall see in Chapter 19, hydrogens on a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group are far more acidic than those not adjacent to a carbonyl group. The anion derived from acetone, for example, is more stable than is the anion derived from ethane. Account for the greater stability of the anion from acetone.
