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.)See also:
