Chapter 26, Problem 26.32AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the conjugate acid for the given compound and the resonance stabilization are to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Resonance is a phenomenon in which polarity is generated in a molecule by the interaction of the conjugated π- bonds or by interaction of the lone pair of electrons and π- bonds. In this phenomenon, the delocalization of the lone pair of electrons occurs. More the resonating structures of a compound, more stable is the compound.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Arrange the following compounds in the increasing order of their acid strength: p-cresol, p-nitrophenol, phenol
4-Methylphenol is more acidic than ethanol (pKa 10.36 vs 16.0) , even though both contain an OH group and a methyl group. Draw the structures of the anions formed from loss of the alcoholic protons from both compounds. Use resonance to explain the difference in their respective acidities.
Provide an explanation without using the pka values : Why is phenol stronger acid than butanoic acid?
