Question diagram: Which will undergo deprotonation most readily in basic mediu

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Due to the presence of two electron-withdrawing carbonyl group the methylene protons are very much acidic. The -M effect of -COCH3 is more than -COOMe. Hence, the acidic nature of acetyl acetone is more than rest of the two molecules.
