In 1966, Buckley began hosting Firing Line, a political talk show on National Educational Television, the forerunner of PBS. 1,429 weekly episodes were produced over the next 33 years, until Buckley stepped down in 2000.
Hence, the anion of a ketone, where there are extra alkyl groups is less stable than that of an aldehyde, and so, a ketone is less acidic. In the ester, there is also a resonance donation from the alkoxy group towards the carbonyl that competes with the stabilisation of the enolate charge.
Aldehydes and ketones are simple compounds which contain a carbonyl group-a carbon-oxygen double bond. They are simple in the sense that they don't have other reactive groups like-OH or-Cl attached directly to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group-as you might find, for example, in carboxylic acids containing-COOH.n aldehydes, the carbonyl group has a hydrogen atom attached to it together with either. a second hydrogen atom. or, more commonly, a hydrocarbon group which might be an alkyl group or one containing a benzene ring. For the purposes of this section, we shall ignore those containing benzene rings.
