The mechanism of deprotonation can be seen by resonance in the enolate ion.
Understanding the location of electrons and being able to draw the curved arrows that depict the mechanisms by which the reactions occur is one of the most critical tools for learning organic chemistry since they allow us to understand what controls reactions, and how reactions proceed.
Before we do this, we need to understand that a bond is due to a pair of electrons shared between atoms. When asked to draw a mechanism, curved arrows should be used to show all the bonding changes that occur.
When the charge shifts from the alpha carbon to the second, it becomes positively charged and the other carbon where the atom has shifted to, it becomes negatively charged.
