Chapter 20: Problem 466
How do you account for the fact that the \(\alpha\) -hydrogens of an aldehyde (say, n-butyraldehyde) are much more acidic than any other hydrogens in the molecule?

Write a detailed mechanism for the reduction of acetic acid to ethanol by \(\mathrm{LiALH}_{4}\).
4-Bromobicyclo \([2,2,2]\) octane-1-carboxylic acid is more acidic than 5 -bromopentanoic acid. Explain this observation by considering the transmission of the electrical effect of the C-Br dipole.
Explain why the chemical shift of the acidic proton of a carboxylic acid, dissolved in a nonpolar solvent like carbon tetrachloride, varies less with concentration than that of the OH proton of an alcohol under the same conditions.
Explain the mechanism involved in the nucleophilic substitution reaction on carboxylic acids in esterification.
