Alkoxides are supposed to be very strong bases so why is it weaker than the alkane primary anion?
Is it always the case that the alkane anion would be the stronger base? |

Sure, II is a strong base, but which H is easiest to remove; the one from an alkane or the one from an alcohol?
Answer: the H from an alcohol
Therefore, the most unstable is compound I and this is why it would accept the proton first. |
