Enolate
Organic anion formed by deprotonating a carbonyl (>C=O) compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In organic chemistry, enolates are organic anions derived from the deprotonation of carbonyl (RR'C=O) compounds. Rarely isolated, they are widely used as reagents in the synthesis of organic compounds.[1][2][3][4]
