#7
Front (Question)

why does sulfur stabilize carbanions?

Back (Answer)

pKa is lower than alkanes, so sulfur stabilizes carbanion despite the electron repulsion between the S and the carbanion, the charge is accommodated because: higher polarizability of sulfur allows for easier distortion of its electron cloud as it accommodates for carbanion direct interaction of a lone pair of S with the metal cation (when using BuLi), which provides stability

Back (Answer)

basically, the S-S crossed part gets replaced by a carbonyl oxygen
