formation of enolates from ketones
"Formation of enolates from ketones" refers to the process in organic chemistry where ketones undergo a reaction to generate enolates, which are intermediate species containing an enol group. This transformation typically involves the use of a strong base to abstract a proton from the alpha carbon of the ketone, leading to the formation of a resonance-stabilized enolate ion.
