The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options are not ambident carbanions, we need to analyze each option based on the criteria for ambident carbanions. An ambident carbanion is characterized by the following: 1. The carbanion must be capable of resonance. 2. There should be more than one different canonical structure. Now, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A (CH2-) - **Structure**: CH2- has a negative charge on carbon. - **Resonance**: There are no conjugate double bonds or other atoms that can stabilize the negative charge through resonance. - **Conclusion**: Since there is no resonance, this is not an ambident carbanion. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B (CH2=O-) - **Structure**: CH2=O- has a double bond between carbon and oxygen, with a negative charge on carbon. - **Resonance**: The negative charge can be delocalized to the oxygen, forming different canonical structures (one with the negative charge on carbon and another with the negative charge on oxygen). - **Conclusion**: This is an ambident carbanion because it satisfies both conditions. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C - **Structure**: This option has a carbanion with no conjugation near the negative charge. - **Resonance**: Since there is no conjugation, resonance cannot occur. - **Conclusion**: This is not an ambident carbanion. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D - **Structure**: This option shows a structure with conjugation present. - **Resonance**: The negative charge can be delocalized, leading to different canonical structures. - **Conclusion**: This is an ambident carbanion. ### Final Conclusion Based on the analysis: - **Not Ambident Carbanions**: Option A (CH2-) and Option C. - **Ambident Carbanions**: Option B (CH2=O-) and Option D. ### Answer: The options that are not ambident carbanions are **Option A and Option C**.

    Which of the following is the least stable carbanion?

    Which of the following reactions involve carbanion enolalte as reactive intermediate?

    Reaction intermdiates are short lived species and are highly reactive. They are formed by heterolytic and homolytic bond fission. There are various types of reaction intermediates in which the most important are carbocation , carbanion and free radical. Carbocation is an organic species in which carbon have positive charge and six electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of carbocation can be increased by positive inductive effect, hyperconjugation and delocalisation. If alpha -atom with respect to carbocation has one or more lone pair of electron then lone pair of electron strongly stabilises the carbocation due to octet completion. Species in which carbon have negative charge is called carbanion. Carbanion carries three bond pairs and one lone pair. The stability of carbanion can be increased by negative inductive effect, negative mesomeric effect and delocalisation. Free radical is a species which have seven electrons in its outermost shell. The stability of free radical can be increased by hyperconjugation and delocalisation. Which of the following is the most stable carbanion intermediate ?
