    This is an example of deprotonation of Asymmetric Ketones. In this case two products are possible.

    Thermodynamic Product:

    It gives highly substituted enolate, has greater transition energy to cross and has lower product energy.

    Kinetic Product:

    It gives less substituted enolate, the proton is accessible and easily removed and has less transition energy, and higher product energy compared to thermodynamic product.
