What is the correct increasing order of acidic strength?

A

Propan-l-ol `lt` 4- methyl phenol `lt` phenol

B

propan-l-ol `gt` 4-methyl phenol `gt` phenol

C

Propan-l-ol `lt` 4-methyl phenol `lt `phenol

D

Phenol `gt` 4-methyl phenol `gt ` Propan-1-ol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Phenol is more acidic than propan-l-ol because the phenoxide ion formed is resonances stabilized. Among phenol and 4-methyl phenol, 4-methy phenol is less acidic due to the pressure of effect of `CH_3` group.
