Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated: CH 3 CH 2 CH(Br)COOH, CH 3 CH(Br)CH 2 COOH, (CH 3 ) 2 CHCOOH, CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH (acid strength)

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

+I effect donates e^- . Br group will show +I effect along the chain but as I effect is distance dependent effect it will die as the distance increase.+I effect of alkyl group will reduce the acidity of a compound whereas –I effect will increase the acidity,I effects are distance dependent, correct order will be (CH₃)₂CHCOOH< CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH< CH₃CH(Br)CH₂COOH < CH₃CH₂CH(Br)COOH.

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:CH3CH2CH(Br)COOH, CH3CH(Br)CH2COOH, (CH3)2CHCOOH, CH3CH2CH2COOH (acid strength)

Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their property as indicated:
CH₃CH₂CH(Br)COOH, CH₃CH(Br)CH₂COOH, (CH₃)₂CHCOOH, CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH (acid strength)
