In mechanisms, proton transfers are generally the fastest possible reaction, so this usually happens before other possible processes such as nucleophilic attack. The exception is deprotonation of non-acidic carbon atoms such as in alkanes, these can be slow

Question

Pooja · Answer

dear student,
The statement by you is true because the deprotanation i.e., the removal of protons from the alkanes is hard because on removing a proton corresponding conjugate base carbanions are highlyl unstable hence this process is slow.
While we consider the proton transfer in case of normal acid -base reactions, the removal of proton is fast. Lets take example of H2SO4 which on loosing protons form the corresponding HSO4- and SO42- which are resonance stabilise.
