Question

why there is poor resonance in pethoxyphenol than phenol​

Answer 1

Answer:

the oxygen bonded to the ring is more electronegative than carbon so it will increase acidity of the phenolic -OH group. In the p-position (4-methoxyphenol), only resonance will be at play and because it donates electron by resonance, this will decrease acidity

$\huge\underline\bold{ANSWER:-}$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\large{\pink{\underline{\tt{:-}}}}$o-Methoxy phenol is less acidic than phenol. ... In Phenol there are 4 resonating structure as it forms Phenoxide ion by losing its proton, but in o-methoxy phenol there is methyl group attached to the Oxygen, which is not a good leaving group and hence shows lesser resonating structures.

• For the methoxy group,
• the oxygen bonded to the ring is more electronegative than carbon so it will increase acidity of the phenolic -OH group.
• In the p-position (4-methoxyphenol),
• only resonance will be at play and because it donates electron by resonance,
• this will decrease acidity.
