Ortho effect is a special type of effect that is shown by d-substituents, but it is not necessarily just a steric effect.This ortho-effect opertes with the benzoic acid.Irrespective of the polar types nearly all o-substitued benzoic acid are stronger than unsubstituted beznoic acid.Benzoic acid is a resonance hybrid and so the carboxyl group is coplanar with the ring.An o-substituent tends to prevent this coplanarity . Ortho effect also opertes in substituted anilines where as ortho substituent has base weakening effect. What is the order of acidity of following compounds : A. IgtIVgtIIIgtIIB. IgtIIIgtIVgtIIC. IVgtIgtIIIgtIID. IIIgtIVgtIgtII

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(i)Is strongest due to intramolecular bond formation in conjugate base.
(iv)Comes next due to intramolecular H bonding with OH group.
(iii)Comes next due to ortho effect.
