Question
Sulfonic acids are the "organic versions" of sulfuric acid: they are really acidic, but are more soluble in organic
solvents, making them better suited for organic acid/base reactions. Sulfonic acids have pka values from 0
down to -15!
a) Which of the following sulfonic acids is the strongest?
ofor
H3C-S-OH
F3C-S-OH
-S-OH
F3C-
A
B
b) In ONE WORD, name the effect (not the property) that causes the acidity difference across this
series of sulfonic acids
c) Draw the acid/base reaction between the weakest of the pictured acids and triethylamine (NET3).
Include curved arrows to show the electron-flow
