I have a question on the BR ochem chapter #13 problem for passage 2 of chapter 6 practice problems.
I know why the most acidic hydrogen is on the reactant of step 4 but why is the alpha hydrogen on the sp2 carbon for the reactant of step 4 the least acid when there is an alpha sp3 hydrogen on the reactant for step 1?
