Non-
protogenic
(in a given situation). (With extremely strong
Brønsted acids
or
bases
, solvents that are normally aprotic may accept or lose a
proton
. For example, acetonitrile is in most instances an aprotic solvent, but it is
protophilic
in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid and
protogenic
in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide. Similar considerations apply to benzene, trichloromethane, etc.)
