A
CH 3 CO 2 H B < D < A < C
B
MeOCH 2 CO 2 H D < A < C < B
C
CF 3 CO 2 H D < A < B < C
D
is A < D < C < B
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Effect of substituent on the acid strength of aliphatic acids.
(i) Acidity decreases as the + I – effect of the alkyl group increases.
(ii) Acidity decreases as the – I – effect decreases.
(iii) On the basis of given information the relative order of increasing acid strength of the given compounds :
(CH 3 ) 2 COOH < CH 3 COOH < CH 3 OCH 2 COOH < CF 3 COOH
