Chapter 19.14, Problem 15P

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

  • The given substituents has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Electronic effect:

Electron donating groups decreases acidity by inductive effect (withdrawal of electrons through a sigma bond).  Electron withdrawal increases acidity.  Electron-donating substituents destabilize a base, and decrease the strength of its conjugate acid; electron-withdrawing substituents stabilize a base, which increase the strength of its conjugate base.

Rule: The strength of a base depends on the stability of its conjugate acid.

b)

Interpretation:

The given substituents to be predicted

For each of the following substituents, indicate whether it withdraws electrons inductively, donates electrons by hyperconjugation, withdraws electrons by resonance, or donates electrons by resonance. (Effects should be compared with that of a hydrogen; remember that many substituents can be characterized in more than one way.)
