Non-aqueous solvent acid enough to protonate formate?
« on: August 10, 2010, 03:12:48 PM »
Dear all,

I am trying to find a solvent acid enough to protonate the formate anion. ???
For that I need to know the pKa of formic acid in such solvent.
It should be a very small pKa so that the conjugate base could be strong enough to withdraw a proton from it...

Any ideas?

Thanks
