The hydrogen atom bonded to the carbon designated by which number in $\stackrel{4}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_3-\stackrel{3}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2-\stackrel{2}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_2-\stackrel{1}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{HO}$ is most acidic.
  1. $C-4$
  2. $C-2$
  3. $C-3$
  4. $C-1$

Solution


Hydrogen C-2 is more acidic because associated with the carbonyl group.
