Question

The acidic strength of following alcohols decreases in the order: OH + OH () 3 ( 11) Select one: a 11 >> b>1 > 101 O C11> o di un​

Answer 1

Answer:

The acidic character of alcohol is due to the polar nature of O−H bond. As alkyl groups have +1 effect, therefore, electron density on oxygen increases from 1° to 3° alcohols. In other words, the O−H bond in 3° alcohols is most polar whereas it is least polar in 1° alcohol. Thus, the acid strength of alcohols follows the order
