Acidic Character In Substituted Benzoic Acid

Method to Determine Stability OF Reaction Intermidiate-2(Acidity OF Substituted Benzoic Acid)

Assertion: Ortho substituted benzoic acids are stronger than benzoic acid. Reason: Ortho substituted tends to prevent coplanartity of -COOH with ring. Thus resonance is diminished which increases acidic strength (ortho effects)

Ortho effect is special type of effect that is shown by o-subsituents .This ortho-effect operates at the benzoic acids irrespective of the polar type. Nearly all o-substituted benzoic acid are stronger than benzoic acid. Benzoic acid is a resonance stabilised and so the carboxyl group is coplaner with the ring. An o-subsituent tends to prevent this coplanarity. Which among the following will be the strongest acid ?

Acidic character of fatty acids depends on

How Many Acids Are Stronger Than Benzoic Acid ? Formic acid , acetic acid , Benzene Sulphonic Acid, O -Hydroxy Benzoic Acid , Meta – Hydroxy Benzoic Acid , O -Methyl Benzoic Acid , Meta - Niro Benzoic Acid & P -Nitro Benzoic Acid (A) 7 (B) 6 (C)5

Explain why formic acid is stronger acid than benzoic acid although benzoic acid has phenyl group which is - group.

Ethyl benzoate to benzoic acid?

Benzamide to benzoic acid

Benzoic acid contains
