Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a biocompatible polymer material that is used to make medical implants. (J. Biomed. Mater. Res. A 2013, 101A, 465-471) The conjugate base of hydroquinone is used in the synthesis of PEEK. Hydroquinone Is hydroxide a strong enough base for deprotonating hydroquinone? Phenolic protons are acidic than water, therefore the equilibriul favor deprotonation of hydroquinone by hydroxide. eTextbook and Media Hint Attempts: 0 of 1 used
