This term describes a class of hydroxy acids that are used as exfoliating agents that are distinct from BHAs.
In mass spectrometry, a cleavage described by this term produces a resonance-stabilized carbocation. This term describes a class of hydroxy acids that are used as exfoliating agents that are distinct from BHAs. Bromine, phosphorus, and a carboxylic acid are reacted in the Hell-Volhard-Zelinsky reaction to create brominated acids described by this term. Resonance-stabilized enolates are formed when a hydrogen (*) described by this term is abstracted. The first step of the Claisen and aldol condensations involve the removal of a proton described by this letter. For 10 points, name this Greek letter that denotes the carbon or hydrogen nearest to a carbonyl group.
