Question

Does benzylalcohols are more acidic than aliphatic alcohols?
Give reason?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In phenol, pulling the pz electrons from the oxygen atom into the ring causes the hydrogen atom to be more partially positive than it is in aliphatic alcohols. This means it is much more easily lost from phenol than it is from aliphatic alcohols, so phenol has a stronger acidic property than ethanol.

Answer 2

Answer:

chlorophenol is an aromatic compound and aromatic alcohols are always more acidic than aliphatic alcohols. ... In benzyl alcohol if the oxygen atom loses H+ then the negative charge formed on oxygen is not in resonance with benzene ring which is not the case with m - chlorophenol. Hence m - chlorophenol is more acidic.
