Answer:

The reason for the acidic character of pyrrole :

  • the electron pair in the pyrrole is delocalization from nitrogen makes it positively charged and increases the possibility of proton abstraction giving pyrryl anion.
  • Furthermore, the pyrryl anion is stabilized by delocalization of the negative charge over the ring.

The reason for the basic character of pyrrole:

  • the lone pair of electrons in the pyrrole on nitrogen is involved in the formation of the delocalized π molecular orbital and is not available for the formation of a new bond with proton.
  • Furthermore, if a proton is added to the nitrogen atom by the reaction with an acid, the resulting structure ceases to be aromatic and the resonance energy is lost.
  • This makes the pyrrole cation very unstable in comparison to the free pyrrole and indicates why pyrrole is a weak base.
  • Also, the pyrrole cation behaves as a typical conjugated diene and undergoes polymerization readily.

Acidic Character of Pyrrole:

  • The electron pair in pyrrole delocalizes from nitrogen, making it positively charged
  • This raises the probability of proton absorption to produce pyrryl anion,
  • Additionally, the delocalization of the negative charge over the ring stabilizes the pyrryl anion.

Acidic Character of Phenol:

  • The sp2 hybridized carbon atom of the benzene ring, which is directly connected to the hydroxyl group in a phenol molecule, functions as an electron-withdrawing group.
  • The oxygen atom's electron density falls because this carbon atom has a higher electronegativity than the hydroxyl group it is linked to.
  • Compared to phenols, the phenol oxide ion is more stable because in phenols, charge separation occurs during resonance.
