Abstract
This chapter is concerned with carbanions, which are, most simply, the conjugate bases (in the Brønsted sense), formed by deprotonation at carbon, of organic molecules. Carbanions may vary widely in stability, depending on the ability of substituent groups to delocalize negative charge. In the absence of substituents that are effective in delocalizing the charge, proton abstraction from a C-H bond is very difficult.
